The problem "xfs_quota: cannot set limits: Function not implemented"

MOHAMMAD026 · Mar 22, 2016

Hello!
I attempted to create accounts in DirectAdmin 1:50, but I was faced with the following error:

---------------------------------
Unix User created successfully
Error with system Quotas
xfs_quota: cannot set limits: Function not implemented
Debug Guide
User's data directory created successfully
Domains directory created successfully
Domains directory created successfully in user's home

--------------------------------
How can I fix this error I?

i user google cloud and i can't fix this error

If you use no XFS for partitions, xfs=0 should be set in directadmin.conf.

Juslintek · Feb 22, 2024

Bash:

da config-set xfs 0
Error with the current values:
Cannot find 'xfs' in the directadmin.conf

Found that there is https://docs.directadmin.com/directadmin/general-usage/all-directadmin-conf-values.html is xfs_on_domains

So attempted it:

Bash:

da config-set xfs_on_domains 0
xfs_on_domains=0

Also found on https://docs.cloudlinux.com/shared/cloudlinux_os_kernel/#file-system-quotas, that I should do echo 1 > /proc/sys/fs/xfs/cap_res_quota_disable

So attempted that and it seem to work, but not sure how it should be done properly when cloudlinux is used. No docs regarding directadmin on cloudlinux documentation pages, same with directadmin documentation pages.

But still get with cloudlinux-limits --json

JSON:

It was removed from DirectAdmin.

What you see if run the commands as root?

Code:

df -h -T

Code:

repquota -a

Code:

cat /proc/mounts

Quotas support is not enabled either in /etc/fstab or in kernel. Check an official guide on https://docs.directadmin.com/

Juslintek · Feb 24, 2024

I followed official guide by DA on xfs: https://docs.directadmin.com/operat...uotas.html#how-to-enable-quota-support-on-xfs

And still I end up having noquota after reboot. And grub /boot/grub2/grub.cfg contains additional: rootflags=uquota,pquota

My GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=, looks like this:

Bash:

# This section was generated by a script. Do not modify the generated file - all changes
# will be lost the next time file is regenerated. Instead edit the BootLoaderSpec files.
#
# The blscfg command parses the BootLoaderSpec files stored in /boot/loader/entries and
# populates the boot menu. Please refer to the Boot Loader Specification documentation
# for the files format: https://systemd.io/BOOT_LOADER_SPECIFICATION/.

# The kernelopts variable should be defined in the grubenv file. But to ensure that menu
# entries populated from BootLoaderSpec files that use this variable work correctly even
# without a grubenv file, define a fallback kernelopts variable if this has not been set.
#
# The kernelopts variable in the grubenv file can be modified using the grubby tool or by
# executing the grub2-mkconfig tool. For the latter, the values of the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX
# and GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT options from /etc/default/grub file are used to set both
# the kernelopts variable in the grubenv file and the fallback kernelopts variable.
if [ -z "${kernelopts}" ]; then
  set kernelopts="root=UUID=3f0a1176-e16b-4e2a-8d2a-5136974fde21 ro crashkernel=1G-4G:192M,4G-64G:256M,64G-:512M resume=UUID=4460efc2-e248-4bd1-8987-0b648480bbd0 systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=0 rootflags=uquota,pquota
systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=1 psi=1 rootflags=uquota,pquota"
fi

Seems like quota lines were already there by default.

Bash:

GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="$(sed 's, release .*$,,g' /etc/system-release)"
GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=true
GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="console"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="crashkernel=1G-4G:192M,4G-64G:256M,64G-:512M resume=UUID=4460efc2-e248-4bd1-8987-0b648480bbd0 systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=0 rootflags=uquota,pquota"
GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true"
GRUB_ENABLE_BLSCFG=true
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="${GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT} rootflags=uquota,pquota systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=1 psi=1"

FYI: my distro is cloudlinux 9.3

Code:

/proc/version
Linux version 5.14.0-362.18.1.el9_3.x86_64 ([email protected]) (gcc (GCC) 11.4.1 20230605 (Red Hat 11.4.1-2), GNU ld version 2.35.2-42.el9) #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Mon Jan 29 07:05:48 EST 2024

And fstab contains different uquota,gquota params, the gquota is different:

Code:

cat /etc/fstab

#

But I still get error:

Check the file /etc/default/grub for the following line:

Code:

GRUB_ENABLE_BLSCFG= true

Then run :

Code:

grubby --args="rootflags=uquota,pquota" --update-kernel=ALL

and restart your server

This is what I use on my Alma/Rocky Linux 9 servers without any problems.
Note that I am not responsible if the server fails to restart.

Juslintek · Feb 24, 2024

Hey thank you very much, it helped. How did you figured it out?

Would be nice to know the thought, search and read flow you wen't through to figure this out

I don't remember the link, but I know I've read the Redhat documentation and the rockyLinux forum.
