Quota problem: Invalid cross-device link

[Gorka]

I'm trying to enable hard disk quota, but I keep getting the "hard disk quota not supported" message.

Far as I can tell disk quotas are enabled on fstab and running ok, but:

--------------------------------------------------------
#/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/usermng --isquotable
usermng: Unable to turn on user quota. User quota not supported on device '/dev/md4'

System error 18: Invalid cross-device link
usermng: Unable to turn on user quota. User quota not supported on device '/dev/md4'

System error 18: Invalid cross-device link
1
--------------------------------------------------------

The fstab entries:
--------------------------------------------------------
# cat /etc/fstab
/dev/md0 /boot ext3 errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/md2 / reiserfs defaults,usrquota,grpquota 0 0
/dev/md1 none swap sw 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
/dev/md4 /usr reiserfs auto,defaults,noatime,nodiratime,usrquota 0 0
--------------------------------------------------------

I already followed some other threads on the forum and did the remount+quotaoff+quotacheck+quotaon procedure to no success.

Could anybody help with this?

Here is an SWsoft knowledge base article concerning your problem:

http://kb.swsoft.com/article_16_768_en.html
=================================================
First of all make sure that quota is supported by kernel. It should be compiled into the kernel or loaded as module.

You can check if quota is configured properly with this command line:
/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/usermng --isquotable

Normally, it should return "0".

If the utility returns the following error message:

usermng: Unable to turn on user quota. User quota not supported on device '/dev/sda3'
System error 3: No such process


then, please, make sure that quota is enabled in /etc/fstab for the partitions Plesk stores data on.
You should add 'usrquota' as it is done in the example below:

/dev/hda1 / ext3 defaults,usrquota 1 1

Note: the partition must be remounted after you added usrquota option into /etc/fstab.

Please update users quota with this command line:
quotaon /dev/hda1

Make sure that 'aquota' format is used. It should be an aquota.user file
in the root of every partition where quota is enabled. If you see
a 'quota.user' file, please remove it and create the right one:


rm -f quota.user
touch aquota.user
/sbin/quotacheck -fmv /dev/hda1

Note: you have to use your own device instead of '/dev/hda1'.

Thanks anb_t, but I had already read that article and the problem is not the same described in it.

Disk quotas are enabled, quota files exist and they are in aquota format. Still, I can't get rid of the "hard disk quota not supported" message. I'm only guessing, but the "invalid cross-device link" error makes me think of a broken soft link somewhere in plesk.
