Hi,

When I try to do a yum install I get the following error:

/dev/sda2: write failed, user block limit reached

I then checked and found the following:

root@lin01 [/etc]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2 42G 35G 6.7G 84% /
tmpfs 3.9G 6.5M 3.9G 1% /dev/shm
/dev/sda1 194M 114M 78M 60% /boot
/dev/sdc1 394G 142G 252G 37% /backup
/dev/sdd1 50G 7.9G 39G 17% /data
/dev/sdb1 394G 142G 233G 38% /home
/usr/tmpDSK 485M 80M 380M 18% /tmp


Note /dev/sda2 gives this error.

fstab has the following:


# /etc/fstab
# Created by anaconda on Fri Sep 14 00:19:52 2012
#
# Accessible filesystems, by reference, are maintained under '/dev/disk'

#
/dev/sda2 / ext4 usrjquota=quota.user,jqfmt=vfsv0,noatime 1 1
/dev/sda1 /boot ext4 defaults,noatime 1 2
/dev/sda3 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/sdc1 /backup ext4 rw,noatime 0 0
/dev/sdd1 /data ext4 defaults,usrquota,noatime 0 1
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults,noexec,nosuid 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/sdb1 /home ext4 rw,usrjquota=quota.user,jqfmt=vfsv0,noatime 0 0
/usr/tmpDSK /tmp ext3 defaults,noauto 0 0


Does fstab look correct? Is quotas necessary on /dev/sda2?
Can this be usrjquota=quota.user,jqfmt=vfsv0,?

Any ideas how to fix?

Hello :)

Did you check to see if there were available inodes? EX:

Code:
df -i
Thank you.

It looks like there might be filesystem or hardware issue if space/inodes are available. You can open a support ticket so we can take a closer look, but keep in mind that we won't be able to actually resolve any hardware/filesystem issues if it turns out to be the cause of the problem. That would require you to seek assistance from your hosting provider or a qualified system administrator. You can post the ticket number here so we can update this thread with the outcome.

Thank you.
