During the Perfect Server installation... [email protected]:~# touch /aquota.user /aquota.grouptouch: cannot touch '/aquota.user': No such file or directorytouch: cannot touch '/aquota.group': No such file or directory [email protected]:~# chmod 600 /aquota.*chmod: cannot access '/aquota.*': No such file or directory I tried the solution offered on this forum in another post but it didnt work. So i thought perhaps another solution offered in https://askubuntu.com/questions/109585/quota-format-not-supported-in-kernel/165298#165298 There's a bug filled into launchpad which describes and solves this problem. In summary, the quota module (and others) was removed from the virtual kernel. If you are in a Virtual Machine or aws-EC2 this should be your problem. The solution On Oneiric and Precise install linux-image-extra-virtual package. On old versions the modules should be already patched into kernel (just update your system). After that run modprobe quota_v2 and modprobe quota_v1 in order to get ready to run quotas. Also remember to put the modules on /etc/modules. Run your quotaon command as usual. So i ran the following command... [email protected]:~# apt-get install linux-image-extra-virtual Still problems... quotaon -avug quotaon: using //quota.group on /dev/sda1 [/]: No such process quotaon: Quota format not supported in kernel. quotaon: using //quota.user on /dev/sda1 [/]: No such process quotaon: Quota format not supported in [email protected]:/home/myuser# Does anyone have a solution to the quota issue that works on Google Cloud Instances? (perhaps its similar solution to what is needed for Amazon AWS?)
