[SOLVED] Enabling Quotas on Existing Containers (LXC)

[Mario Aldayuz]

Hello,

I ran into a situation recently while running LXC containers the "Enable Quota" wasn't enough to properly enable quotas on my existing containers. To solve this I did the following:

• Stopped or Shutdown running container
• Resources > Select Storage > Edit
• Enable Quota: Check
• Start container
• Console:
• quotacheck -cvgua -m

Done! This should fix quota issues on existing containers. I am running CentOS6 LXC containers with cPanel utilizing local storage (quoats aren't properly supported on LVM via iSCSI ZFS) - critical for quotas to be enabled.

Hope this helps!

Also run:

repquota -a

Hi Mario,
I followed your instructions. I am having issues with Cpanel. I run Initial Quota Setup and still I get a message 'No quotas are enabled on this system.' Any tips?
