Unable to determine filesystems with quotas enabled

[Sergiu Tot]

On a fresh new server (FreeBSD 8.0, cPanel 11.28.83), in WHM > Initial Quota Setup, after clicking "Proceed" I get the following error:

Installing Default Quota Databases...
Unable to determine filesystems with quotas enabled

The quota support is enabled in kernel and quota is activated on /home partition. E.g.:

[[email protected] ~]# quota -v
Disk quotas for user root (uid 0): 
     Filesystem   usage   quota   limit   grace   files   quota   limit   grace
          /home  821172       0       0           54178       0       0        
[[email protected] ~]#

Any ideeas?

What does the /home entry in /etc/fstab look like?

Hello,

Sorry for not answering. I opened a ticket and someone from cPanel support team solved my problem. Aparently the file /etc/fstab.quota was missing.

 

[kopic]

yes, i cann't find this file.
Can i create this file?

 

[kopic]

On other server i find next files:

[21:40] [/etc] # ll | grep fstab
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 328 12 май 2010 fstab
-r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 477 27 янв 2010 fstab,v
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 272 27 янв 2010 fstab.quotas

that good for quotas.
But on this server i cann't find this files.

Please do create the file:

touch /etc/fstab.quotas

This should resolve the issue on your FreeBSD system.

Of note, the prior ticket where this was resolved was ticket #1273670 as a reference.
