How to fix Quotas unlimited under OpenVZ?

[Abadon]

Dear all,

I have a problem with one of VPS servers which i created under my OpenVZ server. In cPanel (WHM 11.42.1 (build 12)), all accounts quota appears as unlimited.

I've been looking for a solution but i can't find working one. I found this old topic http://forums.cpanel.net/f5/quotas-unlimited-275061.html but I can not replay inside it.

The solution explained there doesn't working for me.

I'm running a CentOS release 6.5 (Final), and my fstab says:

root@test [/]# cat /etc/fstab
none /dev/pts devpts rw,gid=5,mode=620 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
root@test [/]#

My mtab:

root@test [/]# mount
/dev/ploop15362p1 on / type ext4 (rw,relatime,barrier=1,data=ordered,balloon_ino=12,jqfmt=vfsv0,usrjquota=aquota.user,grpjquota=aquota.group)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,relatime)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,relatime)
none on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,relatime,mode=755)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,relatime,gid=5,mode=620,ptmxmode=000)
none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,relatime)
none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw,relatime)
root@test [/]#

when i try to run /scripts/fixquotas i get the following

root@test [/]# /scripts/fixquotas
Installing Default Quota Databases......Done
Quota Mode: Linux
journaled quota support: not available with vzaquota (disabled)
checking out /backup

Quotas have been enabled, however they may not be up to date as quotacheck has been skipped.
Reading package test
Resetting quota for kireto to 1024 M
edquota: Cannot open quotafile //aquota.user: No such file or directory
No filesystems with quota detected.
root@test [/]#

I tried these commands, but results are the same - unlimited quota inside WHM/cPanel:

I Found this:
Cpanel quotas - OpenVZ Linux Containers Wiki

rm -rf /aquota.user 2>/dev/null
rm -rf /aquota.group 2>/dev/null
unlink /aquota.user 2>/dev/null
unlink /aquota.group 2>/dev/null
for x in `find /proc/vz/vzaquota/ | tail -2 `; do ln -s $x / ; done
after these commands, I run this:
/sbin/quotacheck -am
and returned to cPanel> Server Configuration> Initial Quota Setup

And, it's all right

Hello,

On Virtuozzo servers, 2nd level quotas must be enabled on the host node. See Enabling Quotas on Virtuozzo.

Hope that helps.

Quotas on OpenVZ and Virtuozzo require that second-level quota support be enabled for the VPS container in the hardware node. This is not a setting that you can change inside the VPS container. If you are not the administrator of the hardware node, ask your hosting provider to make certain that second-level quotas are enabled for your VPS container.

The following documentation offers more information about this, including how the administrator of the hardware node can enable second-level quotas for a container:

https://documentation.cpanel.net/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=8553271

Once you are certain that second-level quotas are enabled for your specific container, run this command in the container to initialize and fix the quotas:

# /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/fixquotas

Hello,

I'm full administrator of VPS and hardware node. The hardware node OS is CentOS release 6.5 (Final), kernel 2.6.32-042stab088.4, virtualization technology is OpenVZ.

I think that First-level quotas are enabled on hardware node:

[root@Ovz-02 ~]# grep DISK_QUOTA /etc/vz/vz.conf
DISK_QUOTA=yes
[root@Ovz-02 ~]#

Second-level quotas are enabled too:

[root@Ovz-02 ~]# grep -i QUOTAUGIDLIMIT /etc/sysconfig/vz-scripts/101.conf
QUOTAUGIDLIMIT="1000"
[root@Ovz-02 ~]#

checking that quota is off for Container 101:

[root@Ovz-02 ~]# grep DISK_QUOTA /etc/vz/conf/101.conf
[root@Ovz-02 ~]#

Everything look like good.

The output from starting the container:

[root@Ovz-02 ~]# vzctl start 101
Starting container...

What's wrong?

[root@Ovz-02 ~]# vzquota show 101
vzquota : (error) Can't open quota file for id 101, maybe you need to reinitialize quota: No such file or directory
vzquota : (error) Quota file must exist for show command
[root@Ovz-02 ~]#

Thank you in advance!

From the hardware node, try running:

vzctl stop VEID
vzquota drop VEID
vzctl start VEID

Note this will restart the VPS.

Thank you.

Unfortunately this doesn't help also:

[root@Ovz-02 ~]# vzctl stop 101

[root@Ovz-02 ~]#

Any other suggestions?

 

[cPanelMichael]

Instead of using the "drop" command, use the same steps but try:

vzquota init 101

Note that this is an issue with your VPS software, and not with cPanel.

Thank you.

 

[Abadon]

I run the command:

[root@Ovz-02 ~]# vzquota init 101
Usage: vzquota init <quotaid> -p <mount_path> [-c <quota_file>]
[-R,--relative]
[-s,--sub-quotas 1|0]
[-u,--ugid-limit <ugid_limit>]
-b,--block-softlimit <block_soft_limit>
-B,--block-hardlimit <block_hard_limit>
-i,--inode-softlimit <inode_soft_limit>
-I,--inode-hardlimit <inode_hard_limit>
-e,--block-exptime <block_expiration_time>
-n,--inode-exptime <inode_expiration_time>
[root@Ovz-02 ~]#

Here I found another example, but thus doesn't help me.

Is it possible that the problem comes from the fact that for this container I used ploop file-system instead of default one simfs?

Does cPanel is compatible with ploop?

You may find posting on a forum that deals with discussions of the OpenVZ software for more user-feedback. The error messages you have provided are with vzquota, and not related to the cPanel software itself.

Thank you.
