Using 2nd level quota from inside a container
type: item
description: Hello, I use an openSUSE 11.0 virtual server I bought from a provider, on a hardware node I obviously don't have access to. I want to enable 2nd level quotas on my VPS, and I'm here because my provider's support staff hasn't been able to help me so far. First of all, I requested 2nd level quotas to be enabled on my container, and they have apparently been enabled. I can see the aquota.user and aquota.group in my root directory. I have followed all tutorials in this world to enable quotas on my container. When I run "quotaon -a" I get a permission denied error Quote: quotaon: using //aquota.group on /dev/simfs [/]: Permission denied quotaon: using //aquota.user on /dev/simfs [/]: Permission denied If I try to enable quotas from Webmin, I just get the same page back. I contacted support and told them about the problem. They checked and confirmed me that quotas are actually enabled on the virtual machine, but I can't still enable them from my shell. What do you suggest me to do? Thank you.
