quotaon not working

Got this doing a "The Perfect Server" build on Ubuntu 18.04 - hosted on UpCloud
Any ideas?

Code:

root@webhost1:~# quotaon -avug
quotaon: using //quota.group on /dev/vda1 [/]: No such process
quotaon: Quota format not supported in kernel.
quotaon: using //quota.user on /dev/vda1 [/]: No such process
quotaon: Quota format not supported in kernel.
root@webhost1:~#

/etc/fstab looks like this:

Code:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
# / was on /dev/vda1 during installation
UUID=ebbf50b4-0252-4c26-add3-c7fc101e167f /               ext4    errors=remount-ro,usrjquota=quota.user,grpjquota=quota.group,jqfmt=vfsv0 0       1

 

Impatient me, I applied the suggestions in: https://techglimpse.com/quota-format-not-supported-kernel-ubuntu/
and now get this:

Code:

root@webhost1:~# quotacheck -avugm
quotacheck: Quota for users is enabled on mountpoint / so quotacheck might damage the file.
Please turn quotas off or use -f to force checking.
root@webhost1:~# quotaon -avug
quotaon: using //quota.group on /dev/vda1 [/]: Device or resource busy
quotaon: using //quota.user on /dev/vda1 [/]: Device or resource busy
root@webhost1:~# vi /etc/fstab
root@webhost1:~#

I'm gonna stop here and wait for advice.

Code:

root@webhost1:~# cat /proc/modules | grep -i quota
quota_v2 16384 2 - Live 0xffffffffc0380000
quota_tree 20480 1 quota_v2, Live 0xffffffffc01eb000
quota_v1 16384 0 - Live 0xffffffffc012a000
root@webhost1:~# quotaon -pa
group quota on / (/dev/vda1) is on
user quota on / (/dev/vda1) is on
project quota on / (/dev/vda1) is off
root@webhost1:~#

No joy - same exact result

 

I did this:

Code:

root@webhost1:~# quotaoff /

and now get this:

Code:

root@webhost1:~# quotacheck -avugm
quotacheck: Scanning /dev/vda1 [/] done
quotacheck: Checked 20559 directories and 117821 files
root@webhost1:~# quotaon -avug
/dev/vda1 [/]: group quotas turned on
/dev/vda1 [/]: user quotas turned on

Am I now good to move forward?

OK - if I manually execute: quotaoff / the results look correct as compared with "The Perfect Server" (see very last post)
But after a reboot I am back to the same 'device or resource busy' warnings. (just like in post #2 in this thread)
Looks to me that quota is applied to / and needs to be applied to /dev/vd1
How do I accomplish that?
THX

 

Yes, but after every reboot, I'm back to:

Code:

root@webhost1:~# quotacheck -avugm
quotacheck: Quota for users is enabled on mountpoint / so quotacheck might damage the file.
Please turn quotas off or use -f to force checking.
root@webhost1:~# quotaon -avug
quotaon: using //quota.group on /dev/vda1 [/]: Device or resource busy
quotaon: using //quota.user on /dev/vda1 [/]: Device or resource busy

Will quotas work properly with the above?

only after I run: quotaoff / do I get:

Code:

root@webhost1:~# quotaoff /
root@webhost1:~# quotacheck -avugm
quotacheck: Scanning /dev/vda1 [/] done
quotacheck: Checked 20559 directories and 117822 files
root@webhost1:~# quotaon -avug
/dev/vda1 [/]: group quotas turned on
/dev/vda1 [/]: user quotas turned on

How do I get the post quotaoff / results after every reboot?

 

THX.

 

I did a full scratch build. One followup to this - and a possible mod suggestion for: https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial...pureftpd-bind-postfix-doveot-and-ispconfig/2/

I was able to get quotas working perfectly the first time by running:
