[YourReference]

Hi Team,

I got a unmanaged dedicated server a few days ago, and I am working on setting up cPanel.

During the first steps, I receive the following error:

=====

Installing Default Quota Databases...../aquota.user..../quota.user..../boot/aquota.user..../boot/quota.user..../tmp/aquota.user..../tmp/quota.user.....Done
Quotas are now on
Updating Quota Files......
quotacheck: Can't find filesystem to check or filesystem not mounted with quota option.


quotacheck: Can't find filesystem to check or filesystem not mounted with quota option.

....Done

=====

After some googling I found a possible solution but it almost looks like my hard disk is not mounted. Can you help?

I think quota is not enabled in the server.Please check if its enabled or not.Please go through the below detailed instruction

Step 1: Gain root access to your server using SSH.

Step 2: Check whether the quota package is install or otherwise please install it before continue.
rpm -qa|grep quota

Step 3: Modify /etc/fstab file
Partitions that you have not yet enabled quota normally look something like:
/dev/hda5 /home ext3 default 1 2
To enable user quota support for that partition, simply add in usrquota next to default such as below:
/dev/hda5 /home ext3 default,usrquota 1 2
To enable group quota, just add grpquota.
To enable both user and group quotas, add in both usrquota,grpquota.

Step 4: Reboot or Not to Reboot.
Normally I won't reboot, you can try this command on the partition that you have modified or added in quota support:
mount -o remount /home

Step 5: Quota Check
/sbin/quotacheck -cguvamf -F vfsv0

Step 6: Rerun Quota Check for old version
/sbin/quotacheck -cguvamf -F vfsold

Step 7: Turn on Quotas
/sbin/quotaon -a

To see the report of quotas, issue this command:
repquota -a
