Warning " You must reboot..to enable quotas." stays.

JonathanW-GOT
At the moment there are two servers that use Softlayers VPSs that have this message displayed even after rebooting the server. I have also performed a /scripts/upcp --force and this message still displays. I do not believe Softlayer VPSs are virtuozo and should be no need to enable quotas. Any possible troubleshooting steps that can be performed to remove this message? Also the operating system is Centos 7, newly supported by cPanel. Thanks!

    Hello :) It's possible this is related to internal case number 195189. Does your system use XFS or EXT4 for the filesystem? Thank you.

    I have that same problem. On all partition i have installed XFS filesystem.

    Although XFS is performing better but I highly recommend using EXT4 for important data and XFS for backups or so. XFS corruption is much more difficult to resolve without losing data.

    Hello :) Internal case CPANEL-563 is open to address an issue where if a partition other than /boot has noquota option set, it will cause the reboot warning to be displayed in WHM after the reboot due to the touch file being created. The temporary workaround at this time is to remove the /var/cpanel/reboot_required_for_quota touch file. Thank you.

    I have same issue when use centos 7 and XFS, quota not working ? So the solutions is just reinstall into EXT4 ? no other ?

    Hello :) Could you elaborate on the specific issue you are facing? This thread is about the reboot warning displayed in WHM. Thank you.

    Hello, I have the same problem, reboot warnign displayed in WHM, I have /boot/efi partition for boot, I think that the script for quota can not patch the grub.cfg because is in the /boot/efi, how I can resolve this? The quota are not enabled I think. Thanks.

    Have you tried removing the /var/cpanel/reboot_required_for_quota file if you have determined that quotas are working as expected? Thank you.

    No, the quota not working, the strange is that in the /etc/fstab there is uquota...... I must enable by hand with this procedure: [LIST]
  • edit /etc/fstab and change tha parameter of partition / from uquota to usrquota
  • edit the file /etc/default/grub and add rootflags=usrquota at the end of line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX
  • recreate the grub.cfg with the command
    grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/centos/grub.cfg
  • reboot
  • verifiy if quota is enable with the command
    xfs_quota -x -c 'report -h' /
    now quota is working

    I am happy to see quota is now working well. Thank you for updating us with the outcome.

    • This is still valid, with boot on ext4 and xfs on /, it's still needed to modify uquota with usrquota and do the procedure, so big thanks to you!
