Hello,
I own a virtual private server at VPSVille running openSUSE 11.0. The hardware node runs OpenVZ.
I need to use file system quotas to sell 7GB of disk space to a customer, possibly sharing between FTP and mailbox (I also opened a topic about configuring inbox in the Networking forum).
My problem is that I can’t enable 2nd level quotas on my system. The hardware node is configured correctly as I contacted support and they reported me no problem
marcus:/home/djechelon # mount
/dev/simfs on / type reiserfs (rw,usrquota,grpquota)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw)
none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw)
As you can see, quotas are enabled on the file system.
I followed a tutorial on how to enable quotas, so I have set the quotas for group phpmybittorrent to 100MB, but when I try to enable quotas I get the following:
marcus:/home/djechelon # quotaon -a
quotaon: using //aquota.group on /dev/simfs /]: Permission denied
quotaon: using //aquota.user on /dev/simfs /]: Permission denied
I also tried to enable quotas both from YaST and Webmin: the former says that no filesystem is quota enabled, and the latter just shows me the “enable quotas for groups and users” no matter I click on it.
VPSVille support is unable to help me configure quotas in openSUSE and suggested me to contact your forums.
Thank you in advance for your help.
