----------------------------
Hello all, new user to linode. Enjoying myself very much so far. I've only run into one issue so far, I'm hoping someone with more experience can lend me a hand.

I'm testing DirectAdmin as part of my linode and I'm getting the error below when adding a new account to DirectAdmin. It adds the account but can't set the quota for the user I guess is why it's complaining.

setquota: Mountpoint (or device) / not found. setquota: Not all specified mountpoints are using quota.

System lnfo;
2.6.32.16-linode28
Cent0S 5.5 32bit

According to directadmin.conf it's using / as the mount point

/usr/local/directadmin/conf/directadmin.conf
quota_partition=/

So it's trying to run;

/usr/sbin/repquota /

You can see the return below;

[root@cp ~]# /usr/sbin/repquota / 
repquota: Mountpoint (or device) / not found.
repquota: Not all specified mountpoints are using quota.
[root@cp ~]# 

Now, I'm new to quota's but it appears that I can turn quota or/off just fine;

[root@cp ~]# /sbin/quotaoff -a
[root@cp ~]# 

[root@cp ~]# /sbin/quotaon -a
[root@cp ~]# 

However if I try to get it to calulate it doesn't want to play;

[root@cp ~]# /sbin/quotacheck -avugm
quotacheck: Can't find filesystem to check or filesystem not mounted with quota option.

My current fstab looks like this

<file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/xvda / ext3 noatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/xvdb none swap sw 0 0
[root@cp ~]# 

Additional information.

- I've put a aquota.user in / and chmod it to 600 per some doc's I read


- in fatab I've tried including usrquota in options, but if I do and reboot the machine, and run /sbin/quotaoff -a I get the following error.

quotaoff: Cannot find quota file on / [/dev/xvda] to turn quotas on/off.

Hoping this is something you have seen and can push me in the right direction to get quotas working for /.

Thanks a bunch!
