if I try to backup any individual virtual server;
"Backup failed : setquota: Cannot open quotafile //aquota.user: Permission denied setquota: Not all specified mountpoints are using quota. "
If I try to backup all together (we have 6 virtual domains at this moment) I get the following error;
"Error - Perl execution failed
setquota: Cannot open quotafile //aquota.user: Permission denied setquota: Not all specified mountpoints are using quota. at ../web-lib-funcs.pl line 1427."
And if I try to enable quotas in Webmin under Disk Quotas (never needed it so never touched it before), I get this;
"Failed to turn on quotas : quotaon: using //aquota.user on /dev/vda1 [/]: No such process quotaon: Quota format not supported in kernel. "
I never used quotas so it was never set on this server and I can't tell if this is new behavior, but I can not turn qutoas on since I get;
"quotaon: using //aquota.group on /dev/vda1 [/]: No such process quotaon: Quota format not supported in kernel. quotaon: using //aquota.user on /dev/vda1 [/]: No such process quotaon: Quota format not supported in kernel."
Since manual backup via Backup and Restore/Backup Virtual Server worked perfectly fine until this weekend and only thing that change was the latest couple of Ubuntu updates, including an updated kernel, I suppose something went wrong on either side.
I also don't completely understand why there is no fallback in the backup script if quotas are simply not set?
Best, 42live

Howdy -- hmm, that's an odd error!
What is the output of this command:
ls -la /Also, what user is currently logged into Virtualmin?

I am logged in as top level administrator via the main webmin interface login. Output of ls is;

Interestingly enough, I can not turn quotas on via System/Disk Quotas in Webmin. Get the following error:
"Failed to turn on quotas : quotaon: using //aquota.user on /dev/vda1 [/]: No such process quotaon: Quota format not supported in kernel. "

What type of filesystem is this? EXT3/4, or something special like XFS or BTRFS?
Submitted by 42live on Mon, 03/06/2017 - 03:54 Comment #5
standard ext4, one single partition plus swap

Is this system a VM of some type (like KVM, Xen or OpenVZ), or a real machine?
Submitted by 42live on Tue, 03/07/2017 - 03:02 Comment #7
It is indeed a KVM VPS

That "permission denied" error is very odd. What are the permissions on the /aquota.user file?
Submitted by 42live on Wed, 03/08/2017 - 04:38 Comment #9
I found the problem! The issue lies in a corrupted or not configured cryptsetup.
The server would throw "cryptsetup: WARNING: could not determine root device from /etc/fstab" somewhere along updating but no device was ever encrypted so server worked just fine, up until the Ubuntu kernel update from a week ago, when suddenly some things broke.
Simply by un-installing cryptsetup, all issues gone and all works fine again!
Problem solved :-)

Ok, that explains it! I've never seen an error like that before.
