Setting individual mailbox quotas option is missing?

Hi,

Latest version virtualmin running on a ubuntu 16.04 AWS ec2 instance...

I click edit users > username > "Quota and Home Directory Settings" and i only see Home Directory: Automatic / Subdirectory of Server's home: _________

How do I set individual mailbox quotas?

update: this seems to have something to do with xen AWS ubuntu ec2 instances. I tried virtualmin on ubuntu on a another web hosting company that uses kvm and I see that I can set quotas there, so something is definitely a little off the mark on this AWS server? I tried to "enable" disc quotas also in the webmin settings, and it gave an error:

Failed to turn on quotas : quotaon: using //aquota.user on /dev/xvda1 [/]: No such process quotaon: Quota format not supported in kernel.

That is strange, using KVM or Xen should have no influence on quotas. CentOS 7 is using xfs now but it also supports quotas and so does Ubuntu of course, assuming you are not using something like ZFS as storage...

You need to install quotas:

apt-get install quota

Then check /etc/fstab

To make sure its enabled.

What is the result of repquota -a?
