[SOLVED] Enabling Disk Quotas

Hello, I have just migrated my virtualmin setup from Ubuntu 12.04 to CentOS 7 in a vmware environment by simply creating a server ackup and then restoring onto fresh install of CentOS 7.

Everything is working fine so far except quotas. If I goto Webmin>>System>>Disk Quotas, under "Action" it states "Can only enable at mount"

output for mount command is

[administrator@localhost ~]$ mount

any help will be greatly appreciated.

Rebooting the system is mandatory for enabling quotas on the root filesystem if you are using XFS. The install script should have mentioned that, I think. This is a limitation (or feature, or however you want to think of it) of XFS. But, rebooting the system should turn quotas on.

Howdy,

Yeah on CentOS 7, and/or when using XFS, the last question of the post-installation wizard in the Virtualmin GUI is regarding setting up grub to enable quotas, and rebooting. You would need to be sure to enable that if you wish to use quotas.

Thank you for reply Joe, Eric. After running the "Re-Check Configuration" It gave me message

Virtualmin is configured to setup DNS zones, but this system is not setup to use itself as a DNS server. Either add 127.0.0.1 to the list of DNS servers, or turn off the BIND feature on the module config page.

.. your system is not ready for use by Virtualmin.

I have edited the /etc/resolve.conf file to add 127.0.0.1 and it seems to have fixed the quotas as well.

As per the forums people seem to have the same problem after reboot, but lets see. For now the issue is resolved.

Thank you
