I have installed quota on my Debian server and get the following error message when trying to turn on quotas:

quotaon: using //aquota.user on /dev/hda3 [/]: No such process
quotaon: Quota format not supported in kernel.

Quota version is: 3.09
Kernel is : 2.4.23

I have run:
touch /quota.user /quota.group
chmod 600 /home/quota.*
mount -o remount /
quotacheck -avugm
quotaon -avug

Does anybody know what's going on?
Thanks

I used the guidelines here

to get quotas working on my debian box. Worked for me.

Didn't seem to work.
I'm still getting the same error when trying to start quota.

Alright.
I did get it working finally. I had to bring quota down to version 3.04 and ran the instructions as above.
