Hello everyone, I have been happily using ISPConfig for a few years on Debian 7 and I am now working on transitioning to Debian 8. I am reinstalling from scratch for a "fresh start" based on the following documentation: https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial...ot-ispconfig-3/2/#-install-pureftpd-and-quota My VPS: Debian 8 64 bits (HVM) Linux version 3.12.46-guest-39-a97a54c-x86_64 (package@jessie64) (gcc version 4.9.2 (Debian 4.9.2-10) ) #4 SMP Mon Aug 10 11:59:25 UTC 2015 I am having some trouble when reaching step "14 Install PureFTPd And Quota" with quotacheck: Code: root@srv:~# nano /etc/fstab root@srv:~# mount -o remount / root@srv:~# quotacheck -avugm quotacheck: Cannot stat() mounted device /dev/root: No such file or directory quotacheck: Cannot find filesystem to check or filesystem not mounted with quota option. root@srv:~# quotaon -avug quotaon: Cannot stat() mounted device /dev/root: No such file or directory root@srv:~# cat /etc/fstab /dev/xvda1 / ext3 rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro,usrjquota=quota.user,grpjquota=quota.group,jqfmt=vfsv0 0 1 devpts /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0 none /proc proc rw,nosuid,noexec 0 0 I am not sure what the issue is here, maybe it's linked to the way the disks are mounted on the server? Even though it doesn't make much sense, I tried creating a symlink but it did not help as /dev/xvda1 is not missing as far as I can tell. I also rebooted the server and checked the version: Quota utilities version 4.01. Compiled with: USE_LDAP_MAIL_LOOKUP EXT2_DIRECT HOSTS_ACCESS RPC RPC_SETQUOTA BSD_BEHAVIOUR After checking the forums for similar issues and exhausting a couple of solutions, I am still unable to complete this step. I welcome any advice on this issue so I can finish my installation properly. Thank you.
Thank you, mattheoh. Sorry for the late answer, I finally had some time to continue with my install. When I was in the process of following the install instructions, the file /etc/fstab was not empty. However, it did not look like the one presented in the documentation. I added ",usrjquota=quota.user,grpjquota=quota.group,jqfmt=vfsv0" but the rest was already there. Since I continued the install despite the message, I can now clearly see the quotas are not working as expected: Any advice on what I can do to troubleshoot this and possibly correct the problem? Thanks a lot!
I recently did a clean install with https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/perfect-server-debian-8-jessie-apache-bind-dovecot-ispconfig-3/ and this was the only issue I couldn't fix "out of the box" from their tutorial. However, the following steps worked for me: 1.) Code: ln -s /dev/xvda /dev/root or Code: ln -s /dev/sda /dev/root depending upon on what type of virtualization you have 2.) This step recreates the symbolic link on reboot Code: nano /etc/rc.local paste either of the two lines above exit 0 in /etc/rc.local: Code: ln -s /dev/xvda /dev/root /etc/init.d/quota restart or Code: ln -s /dev/sda /dev/root /etc/init.d/quota restart depending upon on what type of virtualization you have (tested working with linode.com jessie image) 3.) Code: sudo reboot Quota and Quotacheck work successfully for Debian Jessie.
rc.local is being deprecated, so it is possible not to exist any longer. But you can create and set the executable bit to make it work. Tested on debian 9
