Problem with quotaon

I'm sure the cause of the problem is within KeyHelp
(I think so.)

Server operating system + version
( Debian 13.2 )

Server virtualization technology used
(KVM)

KeyHelp version + build number
(25.2 (Build 3483))

Problem description / error messages

quotaon -a
quotaon: Your kernel probably supports ext4 quota feature but you are using external quota files. Please switch your filesystem to use ext4 quota feature as external quota files on ext4 are deprecated. You can enable the feature by unmounting the file system and running 'tune2fs -O quota <device>'.

not work

Please read and understand your error messages:

The quota feature may only be changed when the filesystem is unmounted and not in use.

To fix this, unmount the partition first and run:

Code: Select all

tune2fs -O quota /dev/sda2

Then remount with quota options and activate quotas using:

Code: Select all

quotaon -vaugP

This enables ext4's native quota feature and resolves the issue. If the root partition is involved, use rescue mode to apply changes.
