Webmin disk quota module reports "No local filesystems can supportquotas."
Posted by Brian Cochrane on October 7th, 2003


OS: Linux 2.4.22
Distribution: Debian/Woody (stable)
version of quota package: 3.04-1
version of quotatool package 1.1.3-1
version of webmin package: 1.050-4
version of webmin-quota package: 0.94-7

I've compiled quota support (including vfsv0) into the kernel and have
made the necessary change to /etc/fstab to enable user quotas:
/dev/hdc1 /home ext2 defaults,usrquota 0 2

I can run "repquota -a" and it will list all users along with their
associated quota settings. I have created /home/quota.user (and
/home/aquota.user, for good measure) with quotacheck. I have run
"quotaon -a" to turn on quotas. I have set a hard block limit for a
user, tried to exceed the limit, and was prevented from writing to the
disk with the expected "Disk quota exceeded" message.

Yet after all of this, Webmin's disk quota module still reports "No
local filesystems can support quotas." Maybe this is a bug that has
been fixed in a newer version of the webmin module (I'd like to be sure
of this before I do a dist-upgrade to unstable or testing)? Maybe
there's some other configuration I need to do? I'm at a loss. Has
anyone else out there had this issue? Anyone know how to fix it? Any
help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
