Quota errors

Hello, My old box running ubuntu 8.04 had died, so i installed virtuamin on another box running 10.04, and restored from backup and everything is good, however when i go to change quota for email/ftp users to anything besides unlimited i get the following error

Failed to save mailbox : setquota: Quota file not found or has wrong format. setquota: Not all specified mountpoints are using quota.

here is the output for the mount

~$ mount
/dev/sda1 on / type ext4 (rw,grpquota,errors=remount-ro,usrquota)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
none on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
none on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw)
none on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw)

gvfs-fuse-daemon on /home/administrator/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=administrator)

EDIT: I did a quite abit of googling on this and seems like everyone with Ubuntu 10.04 is having this issue, is that true, or is there a way to actually fix this?

Thank you

Happy Thanksgiving.

Howdy,

Hmm, in theory, quotas should work out of the box on Ubuntu 10.04.

Out of curiosity, are you using a VPS, or a dedicated server? We've seen some quota problems with certain VPS's.

Also, if you look in Webmin -> System -> Disk Quotas, do they show up as being enabled there (ie, is the option under "Action" to disable quotas)?

It is a dedicated server. under Webmin > System > Disk Quotas, in the Action column it says Enable Quotas, and when i click on it, it takes its sweet time and returns

quotaon: Cannot find quota file on / [/dev/sda1] to turn quotas on/off.

What output do you get if you run the command "repquota -uga"?

~$ sudo repquota -uga
[sudo] password for administrator: 
repquota: Quota file not found or has wrong format.
