Hi im following thi tuto to install ispconfig on ubuntu 18.04.

quotaon: using //quota.group on /dev/vda1 [/]: No such process
quotaon: Quota format not supported in kernel.
quotaon: using //quota.user on /dev/vda1 [/]: No such process
quotaon: Quota format not supported in kernel.

The error indicates a quota issue in your vps, maybe try following https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-enable-user-and-group-quotas

 

Hi Jesse i already see this but still not woprking.

 

try making the fstab file look like this:

LABEL=cloudimg-rootfs / ext4 defaults,usrjquota=quota.user,grpjquota=quota.group,jqfmt=vfsv0 0 0
LABEL=UEFI /boot/efi vfat defaults 0 0

 

Thanks but its the same. same problem.

Thanks again.

 

oops. copied the quota part from aws ec2 attempts. try this:

LABEL=cloudimg-rootfs / ext4 defaults,usrquota,grpquota 0 0
LABEL=UEFI /boot/efi vfat defaults 0 0

also, not sure if you've already done this or not, but like aws ec2 instances, the droplets may not have the quota stuff in the kernel by default, you could try this before changing the fstab entries (will need to reboot as well):

sudo apt-get install linux-image-extra-$(uname -r) linux-image-extra-virtual

 

When i try the sudo say this

[email protected]:~# sudo apt-get install linux-image-extra-$(uname -r) linux-image-extra-virtual
Reading package lists... Done

E: Unable to locate package linux-image-extra-4.15.0-23-generic
E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'linux-image-extra-4.15.0-23-generic'
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'linux-image-extra-4.15.0-23-generic'

its a Digital Ocean VPS

 

Try this way:
apt-get remove linux-image-*
apt-get install linux-image-extra-virtual

reboot (ideally poweroff, then poweron from the Digital Ocean console)

modprobe quota_v2
modprove quota_v1

then add the quota stuff to fstab and run the quotacheck/quotaon commands.

 

One question, you put
modprobe quota_v2
modprove quota_v1
one time with B and another with V

and after modprobe add this??

LABEL=cloudimg-rootfs / ext4 defaults,usrquota,grpquota 0 0
LABEL=UEFI /boot/efi vfat defaults 0 0
????

Thanks

 

sorry, that was a typo. both commands should be modprobe

can try either one of these in /etc/fstab, since DO themselves mention usrquota, i'd try the 1st two lines first.
LABEL=cloudimg-rootfs / ext4 defaults,usrquota,grpquota 0 0
LABEL=UEFI /boot/efi vfat defaults 0 0

LABEL=cloudimg-rootfs / ext4 defaults,usrjquota=quota.user,grpjquota=quota.group,jqfmt=vfsv0 0 0
LABEL=UEFI /boot/efi vfat defaults 0 0

 

Now work but tellme this

 

try the second option in fstab then

not journaled:
LABEL=cloudimg-rootfs / ext4 defaults,usrquota,grpquota 0 0
LABEL=UEFI /boot/efi vfat defaults 0 0

journaled:
LABEL=cloudimg-rootfs / ext4 defaults,usrjquota=quota.user,grpjquota=quota.group,jqfmt=vfsv0 0 0
LABEL=UEFI /boot/efi vfat defaults 0 0

 

Excellent, now working.

Thanks a lot for your help

 

cool... now if only it was that easy with 18.04 on aws ec2. can't seem to get quota's working on there at all.

 

lol ... unfortunately I can not help you in that, I do not understand programming, and if it were not for your help I would still be stuck.
What I do not understand is because it is not in all the same VPS since they are ubuntu.
