Hello, I tried to enable quotas on my cloud server following the "proper" way (see: www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-lpic1-v3-104-4/index.html or http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-setup-disk-quotas-in-ubuntu.html or http://www.debianadmin.com/implement-and-manage-disk-quotas-in-linux.html) but with error: Code: # quotaon -avug quotaon: using //aquota.group on /dev/xvda1 [/]: No such process quotaon: Quota format not supported in kernel. quotaon: using //aquota.user on /dev/xvda1 [/]: No such process quotaon: Quota format not supported in kernel. After searching I found a user's answer at: www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-12.04-lts-apache2-bind-dovecot-ispconfig-3-p5 suggesting installation of linux-image-extra-virtual. After installation I saw the differences between what rackspace gave me and what I have now: Code: # ls -al /lib/modules total 20 drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 2012-09-18 10:44 . drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 4096 2012-09-04 10:32 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2011-10-18 15:49 3.0.0-12-server drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 2011-10-20 20:47 3.0.0-12-virtual drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 2012-09-18 10:46 3.0.0-26-virtual # ls -al /lib/modules/3.0.0-12-virtual/kernel/fs/ ... no quota dir # ls -al /lib/modules/3.0.0-12-virtual/kernel/fs/ ... quota ... Finally, I tried to solve ALL my problems with: Code: # modprobe /lib/modules/3.0.0-26-virtual/kernel/fs/quota/quota_v2.ko FATAL: Module /lib/modules/3.0.0_26_virtual/kernel/fs/quota/quota_v2.ko not found. or any other combination with NO result. What's strange? My kernel remains at 12: Code: # uname -r 3.0.0-12-virtual Any help?
S O L V E D! 1. Simply edit my /boot/grub/menu.lst and added first in list (at the end) the following: title Ubuntu 12.04, kernel 3.2.0-30-virtual root (hd0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-30-virtual root=/dev/xvda1 console=hvc0 ro quiet splash initrd /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-30-virtual check /boot to see actual names. 2. Then, I rebooted and quotaon -uagv or -if errors modprobe quota_v2 quotaon -uagv that's it!
