Hi everyone,

I've been fighting with my proxmox version 8.1.3 for a few days


I created a volume group lvm (local-lvm) and a storage (volume-test) and then created a privileged container, with the quota service active. the result is that inside the container when I try to execute the quota command I receive

Bash:
quota: Cannot stat() mounted device /dev/mapper/local--lvm-vm--100--disk--0: No such file or directory


I'm asking for help because I've tried them all!

Bash:
root@p1:~# lvs
  LV            VG        Attr       LSize  Pool Origin Data%  Meta%  Move Log Cpy%Sync Convert

I would add that even a container with "directory" type storage is unable to use quota

this is the result of command quotacheck

Bash:
root@testws:~# quotacheck -cvgua -m
quotacheck: Cannot stat() mounted device /dev/loop0: No such file or directory
quotacheck: Cannot find filesystem to check or filesystem not mounted with quota option.
