[CPANEL-27976] Ability to disable "Filesystem quotas are currently disabled" banner

May 29, 2019 20:01

) Yellow warning banner on home page now shows 'Filesystem quotas are currently disabled. Click to enable'. Our server is set up with a single user, and I don't want to enable. How do I get this warning banner to disappear?

I would also like to know this.

However, the large yellow warning banner still shows. It looks rather obnoxious. Is there any way to hide or disable this banner since I won't be enabling quotas on this server?

after update my quotas stopped working and will not work again. I reboot server and it still doesn't work after enabling them. Round and round.

Hello, Quotas are enabled by default on new installations of cPanel & WHM and we recommend enabling quotas on existing cPanel & WHM installations. Once quotas are enabled, the following document explains how you can specify file system types that you wish to exclude from cPanel & WHM's quota system:

Michael, thank you. I respectfully apologize for my confusion - I don't have this file in this location: /var/cpanel/reboot_required_for_quota Does this file function with with the yellow banner that says: 'you must reboot your system to enable quotas' I don't have that message. I have this message: 'Filesystem quotas are currently disabled. Click to enable' Is there a different file for this specific message considering I don't have the file you specified?

I don't have this file in this location: /var/cpanel/reboot_required_for_quota

Neither do I, and I too would like to get rid of this message. It's on a client's site with a single cpanel, and I don't know what the net effect of enabling quotas will have (it's a Bluehost server and they sometimes do some funky stuff), and due to the amount of live traffic this site gets I can't just "try it and see". It would be great if there were a way to dismiss this message, thanks. -Michael

Hello @SJR and @mvandemar, I modified my earlier response to remove the reference to the /var/cpanel/reboot_required_for_quota touch file workaround, as it does not appear applicable to the specific warning banner referenced in this thread. Can you verify if there are any specific issues preventing you from enabling quotas on the system? We document some notes and common fixes for quotas on the link below: How to Fix Quotas - cPanel Knowledge Base - cPanel Documentation Once quotas are enabled, the "Filesystem quotas are currently disabled" banner should no longer appear. At this point, you can disable quota calculation on specific file system types using the instructions on the document below if you prefer: The Quota File Systems Configuration File - Version 80 Documentation - cPanel Documentation Thank you.

Can you verify if there are any specific issues preventing you from enabling quotas on the system?

My specific issues are: 1) I don't see a need for enabling them, as this is a single client system, 2) I don't know what the net impact is when enabling them, and don't really have time to research them (I was under the impression that it was to prevent individual cpanel clients from using more disk space than they should, although I may have that wrong?), and 3) as I mentioned, this is a high traffic live server. If there is a chance that enabling them could potentially cause any downtime then I need to inform the client ahead of time why we need to take the risk. Is there a reason that cpanel has decided that enabling disk quotas is now a requirement? -Michael

My server will 'always' be a single client system, and there will 'never' be a second client. I don't want to take any risks that there may be downtime when enabling the quotas. Upon clicking 'Initial Quota Setup' we are immediately presented with a 'Warning' message, ending with the statement, "Proceed at your own risk". CPanel may want to assess whether quotas should be strongly encouraged, or at least give us the option to remove the yellow warning banner. I have also read in that quotas may impact the speed of the server, compared to a system where quotas is not enabled. Please advise.

I subscribe to this. I also do NOT want quotas enabled on my server (single user), and cPanel is just forcing us to enable them. No problem adding this to the Security Advisor items, but having a yellow banner on the top is just too obtrusive for a permanent warning. Please add an option to disable this. For now, I'll be using AdBlock to remove it, but at the same time I may miss other important warnings that would appear at the same spot.

Neither would I like to have that message. I will not enable quotas and I want that yellow bar removed. It is not a requirement and should not stare in my face in bright yellow as a warning message. I don't want to enable something I then disable. Plus "initial enabling" does not work on my system telling me tons of warning messages that no filesystem with quotas are found. All I did is upgraded to your latest release. I don't want a headage.

Hello @SJR, Could you open a
Very kindly Michael, at this point it doesn't seem reasonable for me to open a support ticket to have only my system evaluated when there are many others who would like to have a way to hide or disable this warning banner. I believe the correct solution would be to have cPanel provide a solution for everyone.

So even when I try to go through and enable the quota via the banner link, I just get a message like this: [QUOTE]journaled quota support: kernel supports, user space tools supports (available) checking out /backup Quotas have been enabled and updated. Reading package default No filesystems with quota detected. Resetting quota for aco to 0 M
It then continues to go through all the sites on the server with the same "No filesystems with quota detected" message. I don't have any sites that have quotas enabled so that part all makes sense but the banner is still there. Am I missing a setting someplace? Or do I really HAVE to set arbitrary quotas on sites?

I should also point out that there is this message on the Quota Modification page: [QUOTE]Your system uses Virtuozzo containers. For disk quotas to work, your hosting provider may need to enable quotas on the host node.

I put up a workaround on my browser using Tampermonkey, but any userscript.js browser plugin will work. Here is the script I am using which just specifically hides the Quota Warning so it won't affect any other banners messages that show up there.:

(function() {
    'use strict';
    // Create function to add CSS
    function addCSSRule(sheet, selector, rules, index) {
    if("insertRule" in sheet) {
        sheet.insertRule(selector + "{" + rules + "}", index);
    }
    else if("addRule" in sheet) {
        sheet.addRule(selector, rules, index);
    }
}
// Add CSS to hide message
addCSSRule(document.styleSheets[0], "#quotaDisabledWarning", "display: none !important;");
})();

If the user Account has an Unlimited Quota like many of mine you have nothing to worry about. You will see Resetting quota for USER to 0 M (Unlimited)

That is what I figured was happening but just don't understand why once I went through that process the banner message still hung around.

Hello, The following quota requirement is documented on submit a support ticket and we can take a closer look. If you need to exclude certain filesystems from quota management, the document below includes instructions on how to do so after enabling quotas on the system: The Quota File Systems Configuration File - Version 80 Documentation - cPanel Documentation Thank you.

Same problem. I have 0 need for quota I use cpanel to help me manage my sites i maintain everything has unlimited, and not to mention everything works fine, just let us disable the error. You cant just put an upgrade out there, and expect everyone to conform to enable quotes when thats not how they conduct business. And my host pretty well said they are unable to comply with the request to change, as seen in Enable Quotas on a Virtuozzo VPS - Version 80 Documentation - cPanel Documentation so now, How do I get around this. How do I get around the Banner.

Hello Everyone, We're now tracking the request for an option to disable the "Filesystem quotas are currently disabled" banner on servers where quotas are intentionally disabled as part of case CPANEL-27976. I'll monitor this case and update this thread with more information as it becomes available. Thank you.

that looks Interesting.. could you tell me where would you save it and how to call it ? i would like to apply it to my server with godaddy that has the same annoying warning about "Filesystem quotas are currently disabled." thanks

What I posted doesn't actually go on the server, at least I am not aware of any way to do it. I suppose if you could modify the whm template, then that could work, but I just personally use it on my Firefox browser. You just need to install a plugin for your browser that enables userscripts which basically just insert javascript into whichever sites you want to modify their behavior on the fly. Obviously you want to be careful about which userscripts you use since I am sure there are many malicious userscripts out there. As you can see from what I posted, I just created mine to simply insert a CSS rule that hides the message.

Hello @jrxpress, I'd like to confirm if the issue remains reproducible in cPanel & WHM version 84. Can you share the output from the commands below on one of the affected servers? [CODE=rich]cat /etc/redhat-release mount | grep ' / ' cat /var/cpanel/envtype
Thank you.

I think the "Filesystem quotas are currently disabled " yellow banner should be eliminated when WHM runs in a Virtuozzo system, because the instructions for enabling quotas on Virtuozzo (which are required by WHM accompanied by a stern warning message) are very complex and error-prone. We should not be allowed to create a nonfunctional system just because we clicked a few buttons that asked to be clicked, or were showed in yellow to draw our attention.

hello cPanelMichael I just run the command line you suggested into both of my dedicated servers, whatever only SERVER 2 is displaying the annoying warning :

SERVER 1 (normal server) root@rodney [~]# cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 6.10 (Final) root@rodney [~]# mount | grep ' / ' /dev/mapper/vg-root on / type ext4 (rw,noatime,discard,usrjquota=quota.user,jqfmt=vfsv0) root@rodney [~]# cat /var/cpanel/envtype standardroot@rodney [~]#

SERVER 2 (affected server) [root@wayne ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 6.10 (Final) [root@wayne ~]# mount | grep ' / ' /dev/ploop13605p1 on / type ext4 (rw,relatime,barrier=1,data=ordered,balloon_ino=12) [root@wayne ~]# cat /var/cpanel/envtype virtuozzo[root@wayne ~]#

the warning Filesystem quotas are currently disabled keeps nagging on SERVER 2 current hosted with GoDaddy.
