[SOLVED] Quota issues on Privileged LXC Containers with Quota Enabled

[Louis T]

Hey,
i installed Proxmox on a KVM Root Server, and since my hoster doesn't allow nested-virtualization, i am limited with using LXC Containers.

I want to install Keyhelp on one of the lxc containers, and Keyhelp requires quota to be enabled and to work, in order for Keyhelp to work properly.

I made it a privileged container and enabled quota. But i cannot get the fstab configuration and quota service to run.

In fstab i configure /dev/loop0 to mount to / since loop0 is my device with my correct storage size configured.

I always get this issue:

root@keyhelp:~# systemctl start quota
Job for quota.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status quota.service" and "journalctl -xeu quota.service" for details.

Have you switched to the old cgroup too? https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pve-admin-guide.html#pct_cgroup_compat

nano /etc/default/grub

- GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet"
+GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=0"

Save and Update Grub. Then reboot your whole host.

That was indeed missing.

I tried everything i found online, but that was the last missing piece of the puzzle. Thanks a lot!
