Little Quota help here

[tanfwc]

Anyone know why cPanel is creating quota file as below?

This file is located at /backup drive
-rwxr--r-- 1 root root 6144 Dec 30 02:55 aquota.user
-rwxr--r-- 1 root root 32 Dec 30 02:55 quota.user

Isn't this file are not suppose to be here?

Hello,

It seems you have enabled quota support for /backup drive. You can delete those files. quota is not advisable in backup drive. You may also need to remove it from /etc/fstab if it is there.

If your fstab contains an entry something like this

/dev/sdb /backup ext2 defaults,usrquota 1 2

please make it as

/dev/sdb /backup ext2 defaults 1 2

Thanks for the respond.

In my /etc/fstab, it only shows this for my backup drive
/dev/sdb /backup ext2 defaults 1 2

I remove the quota file and I run /scripts/fixquota, it recreate back again.

Thanks.

It might create the files, but quota probably isn't using them. This command will show which devices have quotas enabled:

quotaon -pau
