After making updates I ran check config and got the output below.
Question 1 : "The module could not find the mount point for your home directories filesystem /home. Quotas editing has been disabled."
cat /etc/mtab /dev/simfs / reiserfs rw,usrquota,grpquota 0 0
so it seems to be mounted ok. What should I do to enable quotas?
Also:
"Updating Virtualmin library pre-load settings .. Webmin server did not write new PID file"
What is the significance of this error?

so it seems to be mounted ok. What should I do to enable quotas?
Some VPS's don't play well with quotas, unfortunately.
You can tell Virtualmin to not use quotas by going into System Settings -> Module Config, and set "Quota setup for domain and mail users" to "No".
After that, it'll stop trying to set that whenever you create new Virtual Servers.
"Updating Virtualmin library pre-load settings .. Webmin server did not write new PID file"
You may just need to restart Webmin to resolve that -- you can do that by running this command as root:
/etc/init.d/webmin restartno module config menu item under System Settings, what I show is:
The restart went smoothly
Hello,
I am exploring the possibility of using a VPS, running on Open Vz. My VPS provider has already enabled quota capability.
Running the command below does indicate it is enabled. cat /etc/mtab /dev/vzfs / reiserfs rw,usrquota,grpquota 0 0
When I ran configuration check I got this error message. The module could not find the mount point for your home directories filesystem /home. Quotas editing has been disabled.
I would really like to use quota limiting for my account plans. Do I just need to point virtualmin configuration to use /dev/vzfs instead of /home and where to change it?
Hrm, you're right, that's not the correct way to find that option :-)
It's in System Settings -> Virtualmin Configuration -- and on that screen, you'll see the "Quota setup for domain and mail users" option.

Sorry for the double posts I just realized I posted the location incorrectly earlier.

Hi Joe -- can you post the contents of both your /etc/fstab, and /etc/mtab files? Thanks!
-Eric
Hi Eric,
Here you go.
cat /etc/fstab
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /dev/pts devpts rw,gid=5,mode=620 0 0 none /run/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
cat /etc/mtab
/dev/vzfs / reiserfs rw,usrquota,grpquota 0 0
Try adding that one line in your /etc/mtab file to your fstab. After that, does the configuration check work properly?

Please let me know if you get that working as I'm having the same issue with the quotas on an Open VZ system.
I never got it to work using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, apparently there is a bug if you google it, it comes up. I tried the fix but I still could not make it work with virtualmin GPL or Pro. I tried it on two types of VPS, Xen and Open VZ same results.
Anyway I went back to using Debian 6 and using a Xen VPS and I did not have any issues with making quota work with Virtualmin. But let me add as a KVM VPS, Ubuntu 12.04 works well with Virtualmin GPL and Pro without any quota issues.
