CentOS cPanel Quota Issue after XEN to KVM Upgrade SOLVED!

n1kko

I'm having quota issues in cPanel showing Unlimited Quota & 0MB

/etc/fstab

/dev/sda        /       ext3    noatime,errors=remount-ro,usrjquota=quota.user,jqfmt=vfsv0      0       1
/dev/sdb       none            swap    sw                              0 0
/proc           /proc           proc    defaults                        0 0
tmpfs           /dev/shm        tmpfs   nodev,nosuid,noexec,mode=1777             0 0
devpts          /dev/pts        devpts  gid=5,mode=620                  0 0
sysfs           /sys            sysfs   defaults                        0 0

Ran /scripts/fixquotas with no sucess
quotacheck -avugm: Can't find filesystem to check or filesystem not mounted with quota option

Driving me insane!

jar

OpenVZ? Have them enable quotas for the container at the host level.

Sorry should have mentioned it's KVM.

Did you already reboot or have done a remount of the root filesystem?

Your fstab is also missing the "grpjquota=quota.group" part for group quotas.

I'll add "grpjquota=quota.group" thanks. Have done a remount.

Same issue!

Does this look correct?

/dev/sda        /       ext3    noatime,errors=remount-ro,usrjquota=quota.user,grpjquota=quota.group,jqfmt=vfsv0       0    1

/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol01 / ext4 usrjquota=quota.user,jqfmt=vfsv0 1 1
This is from a fairly recent KVM install of cPanel with working quota

Mine's same

/dev/vda1  /   ext4    usrjquota=quota.user,jqfmt=vfsv0    1   1

if I remember correctly, there's a section to enable/disable quota, probably where the error is. with cpanel I would say everything to run your server can be configured within the ui.

+1, make sure its enabled in WHM.

Try /scripts/fixquotas also!

Tried that and nothing. Will check in WHM.

Running Initial Quota Setup in cPanel gives this:

edquota: Cannot stat() mounted device /dev/root: No such file or directory
edquota: Cannot stat() mounted device /dev/root: No such file or directory
No filesystems with quota detected

linuxthefish

ln -s /dev/sda /dev/root
quotacheck -a
/scripts/fixquotas

n1kko

Ok ran all them and this is what I get.

ln -s /dev/sda /dev/root

ln: failed to create symbolic link ‘/dev/root’: File exists

quotacheck -a

quotacheck: Cannot stat() mounted device /dev/root: No such file or directory

Problem finally solved after nearly 2 days!

I had my VPS updated from XEN to KVM with Linode which turns outbreaks quotas!

The issue is that the symbolic link /dev/root is linking to /dev/xvda which has been replaced by /dev/sda so the symlink just needs to be replaced:

rm /dev/root

ln -s /dev/sda /dev/root

Thanks for everyone's help.

If it is KVM, your block device should be /dev/vda if virtio is enabled, you will get much better IO performance once you enable that

I will have to check that out. Thanks
