Hey

I've just started to get the hang of OpenVZ and have read through the forum and it has helped me on a lot of things but I could only find 2 posts on this and they didn't help...

I installed cPanel on a CentOS VPS created using OpenVZ. But the quotas are broken.. I was reading something about second level quotas ?

I tried to enable them using this and then restarting but it didnt work...
vzctl set 50 --quotaugidlimit 1000 --save

All of the quotas show as unlimited. Any ideas?

Thanks
Liam

--quotaugidlimit sets limit on the number of users/groups, for which second level quota is supported. Use edquota command inside VPS or vzquota on hardware node. `man vzquota` and `man edquota` will help.

Please provide output of the following commands inside VPS:
1) cat /etc/mtab
2) repquota -a

stop the VPS, and delete the file quota.50 in /var/vzquota/
and restart the VPS.

when the vps is started, start the script /scripts/fixquota

could you restest with this commands :

# vzctl stop $VPSID
# vzquota drop $VPSID
# vzctl start $VPSID

and ran fixquota after ...

you could check the quota with edquota

edquota $username

did you try `edquota` inside VPS?
If you'll provide access to your node (in PM please, or by email to dim_at_openvz_org), I could check what's wrong myself.

In our VPS, when the sesond level quota is enabled, files /aquota.{user,group} are symlinks to /proc/vz/vzaquota/*/aquota.{user,group} files. They are created by vzctl on the VPS start. Seems that CPanel somehow brokes them, rewriting by the regular file.
Fixed for VPS 50.

I don't use CPanel. Probably, if it asks to recreate user/group quotas, you shoudl answer no.
Anyway, if the above problem arises, just remove /aquota.* files and make them to be symlinks to respective /proc/vz/vzaquota/* files.

Hmm Thanks for that.

There doesn't seem to be any files in /proc/vz/vzaquota/....

Any clues for creating the symlinks ?

Trying to fix it on another VPS now

Thanks

Heres what I do, there may be a more elegant solution, but its free:


rm -rf /aquota.user 2>/dev/null
rm -rf /aquota.group 2>/dev/null
unlink /aquota.user 2>/dev/null
unlink /aquota.group 2>/dev/null
for x in `find /proc/vz/vzaquota/ | tail -1 | xargs find | tail -2 `; do ln -s $x /; done

it is also possible to replace quotacheck and fixquota tools with symlinks to /bin/true Smile

Bad solution because all of the files in /scripts are frequently freshened during a cpanel update.

does CPanel ship its own version of quotacheck? sounds unbelievable for me. Can you strace fixquota please to check whether it recalculates quota itself or simply executes std /sbin/quotacheck?

Cpanel uses standard linux quota tools, it has many scripts which wrap the tools you are used to.

/scripts/initquotas:
print "Updating Quota Files......";
if ($val =~ /quota-format/ || $val =~ /Utility for checking/) {
   quotarun("/sbin/quotacheck","-guvamf","-F","vfsv0");
   quotarun("/sbin/quotacheck","-guvamf","-F","vfsold");
} elsif ($val =~ /invalid option/ || $val =~ /usage: quotacheck -a/) {
   quotarun("/sbin/quotacheck","-guva");
} else  {
   quotarun("/sbin/quotacheck","-Ffguva");
}

Ok, in this case I suggest to replace /sbin/quotacheck (which is not part of CPanel) with /bin/true. This tool is really rare to be updated.

Fix it!


Heres what I do, there may be a more elegant solution, but its free:


rm -rf /aquota.user 2>/dev/null
rm -rf /aquota.group 2>/dev/null
unlink /aquota.user 2>/dev/null
unlink /aquota.group 2>/dev/null
for x in `find /proc/vz/vzaquota/ | tail -1 | xargs find | tail -2 `; do ln -s $x /; done


But why do it this, the WHM take the correct quota??, and this fix my repquota -a too, because before that the repquota show the hard and the soft limit in 0 and now the limits are correct!

Thanks Very Happy
