Add Mail Account Errors

[PyRoAcIdK]

I Get this error

Mail Account Maintenance



Account Created

The e-mail account pyro@site.us with the login The disk write test failed. You may have exceeded your quota, or the disk is full. and password mypasshere with a quota of 50 megs was successfully created.

The Harddrive is only 37% full, and the account is Unlimited.

Any ideas guys?

Thanks

A few ideas:

1. run /scripts/fixquotas to regenerate the disk quotas incase they're damaged

2. Check that the disk still has sufficient free inodes using:

df -ih

Im getting this error as well I had already ran a quota fix, rebooted server, checked on neccessary disk space, everything seems peachy

/dev/hda5 514k 25k 489k 5% /
/dev/hdd2 8.3M 1.3k 8.3M 1% /backup

Hi,


May be problem with conflicting uid of another user. please verify it in the /etc/passwd file.
Is there any repeating entry in the /etc/passwd file correct it.
Another reason is conflicting with another existing user
Run this command
find /home -user username
If you get more than one main folder in the home directory. check the disk quota and permission of the individual folder and correct the ownership of the particular folder.
Then check the disk quota of individual folders using this command
du -csh
May be it will help to solve your problem.

And also change the quota value from unlimited to a number.

Let me know the status.

Hi bijo

These I already tried and nothing came back just as an FYI other guy might be different. Cpanel said their still looking at it, but their taking a while bout the time they get to it ill reload it

[webfreaks01]

Having the same problems here with one particular user. Not really sure what else to do. Everything looks fine according to the instructions in this thread.

[PyRoAcIdK]

Just to add to this, Cpanels Dev team never did find out what was wrong, possible that the drive was bad so we replaced the drive and reloaded from Redhat 7.3 to CentOS 3.4

Didnt change anything. Only thing I didnt try was terminating the account and re-creating it the customer wouldnt allow it so we just moved him to another server, problem didnt exist on server he was moved to.

So I dunno what the problem was. If you dont have that option, back up their files manually and try just deleting the account and recreating it

[PyRoAcIdK]

Ok found my problem,

When i restored the backup, the permissions must of stuffed up, because the permissions on the account were root:root, so guys try this

Login to SSH
su as root (or login as root, depending on if you disabled root ssh access)

cd /
ls -l

This is what it used to look like:

drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 Jun 1 16:30 pyrohost/

Then:

 
chown pyrohost:pyrohost pyrohost

then it should look like this:

drwx--x--x 9 pyrohost pyrohost 4096 Jun 20 17:42 pyrohost/

This fixed this problem for me, but im not sure about you guys.

[fusioncroc]

I had the exact problem , Chowning there home folder to there user fixed it.

(Was root.root)
