Hi,
i have problem on my directadmin, Disk Usage is showing 0.00, i try to fix it using this tutorial: http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=42
But it cust me 2 days downtime till datacenter fixed it for me.

this is my /etc/fstab file content

Code: 
/dev/mapper/vg-root     /                       ext4    discard,noatime 1 1
UUID=cb661c9f-34a8-49e0-b8a4-e97b44698c05 /boot ext2    defaults        1 2
/dev/mapper/vg-tmp      /tmp                    ext4    discard,noatime,rw,noexec,nosuid  1 2
/dev/mapper/vg-swap     swap                    swap    defaults        0 0
tmpfs                   /dev/shm                tmpfs   rw,noexec,nosuid        0 0
devpts                  /dev/pts                devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0
sysfs                   /sys                    sysfs   defaults        0 0
proc                    /proc                   proc    defaults        0 0
./var/tmpMnt            /tmp                    ext3    loop,rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev 0 0.

Is quota installed?

If you mean yum install quota, i have install this set before,
Code: 
yum install gcc gcc-c++ flex bison make bind bind-libs bind-utils openssl openssl-devel perl quota libaio libcom_err-devel libcurl-devel which bc wget gd
 
So if quota is installed add usrquota,grpquota to your / partition.

Edit fstab first line to look like this:
/dev/mapper/vg-root / ext4 usrquota,grpquota,discard,noatime 1 1

than run mount -a

and check output for mount command to check if quota is correctly enabled.

Regards

hi, i did the same thing before but afres restarting the server, the server didnt start and after 2 days datacenter chage that line to previous value and server came online again, are you sure i have to add usrquota,grpquota in to the '/dev/mapper/vg-root' line ??
 
when i ran
Code: 
[root@server]# mount -a
i gt this error
Code: 
[mntent]: line 17 in /etc/fstab is bad
and i check the file an line 17 is :
Code: 
./var/tmpMnt           /tmp                    ext3    loop,rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev 0 0.
what i have to do with it ???
 
You need to remove the periods on line 17

from
Code: 
./var/tmpMnt            /tmp                    ext3    loop,rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev 0 0.

to
Code: 
/var/tmpMnt            /tmp                    ext3    loop,rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev 0 0

Also make sure your main partition looks like this to have quotas enabled:
Code: 
/dev/mapper/vg-root     /                       ext4    discard,noatime,usrquota,grpquota 1 1

Hi,
How to find out the quta is enabled afted adding usrquota,grpquota to my Main partition without restart ??

i added those in to my main partition and still shows 0 and i cant risk restart the server, i did that before and the server didnt come back online and cust me 2 days downtime till datacenter removed them,

So how to be sure after adding usrquota,grpquota to my Main partition nothing gose wrong if i restart the server ???
 
Try this command:

Code: 
/sbin/quotaoff -a; /sbin/quotacheck -avugm; /sbin/quotaon -a;

The only reason it wouldn't boot is if you do not have quota support. If it is a virtual server you should have a control panel where you can see what is going on during boot. If it is a dedicated server then your hosting provider should be able to support you.

Code: 
quotacheck: Cannot find filesystem to check or filesystem not mounted with quota option.

any suggestion ?

As i did already say. you need to remount the disks with quota.

Run: mount -a

Hi,

after changing the first line into:

Code: 
/dev/mapper/vg-root     /                       ext4    discard,noatime,usrquota,grpquota 1 1
and save the file , i ran:

Code: 
mount -a

then:

Code: 
/sbin/quotaoff -a; /sbin/quotacheck -avugm; /sbin/quotaon -a;

but i still get this error:

Code: 
quotacheck: Cannot find filesystem to check or filesystem not mounted with quota option.

How to Fix this ??

Thanks.

Try: mount -o remount /
Click to expand...

Hi, i tried
Code: 
mount -o remount /
and then:

Code: 
/sbin/quotaoff -a; /sbin/quotacheck -avugm; /sbin/quotaon -a;

it did some checking but also it gave me this:
Code: 
quotacheck: Your kernel probably supports journaled quota but you are not using it. Consider switching to journaled quota to avoid running quotacheck after an unclean shutdown.

Now how to solve this ?

thankyou.
