module could not find the mount point for your home directories filesystem, quota editing disabled

I noticed a few hours ago that all quotas have disapeared from all of my sites. I rechecked the configuration and saw this "The module could not find the mount point for your home directories filesystem /home. Quotas editing has been disabled".

This is a OpenVZ VPS, CentOS 6.5. Quotas are definitely turned on. If I go to the "Disk Quotas" Webmin module I can see the user/group quotas for the / (simfs) filesystem.

I have rebooted the VPS several times, nothing relevant on Google.

Here are /etc/mtab and /etc/fstab

cat /etc/mtab
/dev/simfs / simfs rw,relatime,usrquota,grpquota 0 0

cat /etc/fstab
none    /dev/pts        devpts  rw      0       0
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs noexec,nosuid 0 0

This is the same files from another OpenVZ VPS that have working quotas

cat /etc/mtab
/dev/simfs / simfs rw,relatime,usrquota,grpquota 0 0

cat /etc/fstab
none    /dev/pts        devpts  rw,gid=5,mode=620       0       0
none    /dev/shm        tmpfs   defaults                0       0

Howdy,

Hmm, I suspect the fstab changed in a way that's confusing Virtualmin (and your other server may have this problem at some point as well).

I would suggest adding this line to your /etc/fstab file on the server having quota problems:

/dev/simfs / simfs rw,relatime,usrquota,grpquota 0 0

Once you do that, try using Webmin to enable quotas again.

Those two files are the same on almost every single OpenVZ system I have ever seen. I put that in /etc/fstab and the error went away. Looks like the module should be checking the /etc/mtab file on OpenVZ systems.
