Setting up quota need to be done when there is an error while modifying the email quota in the DirectAdmin

To setup the quotas, firstly check the disk space


df -h


Example:


[root@es7-64 ~]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/centos-root 14G 2.3G 12G 17% /
devtmpfs 915M 0 915M 0% /dev
tmpfs 921M 24K 921M 1% /dev/shm
tmpfs 921M 8.5M 912M 1% /run
tmpfs 921M 0 921M 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/sda1 497M 125M 372M 26% /boot
[root@es7-64 ~]#


Next, check if the partition is using the xfs file system


mount | grep ' / '


It should be something like this,


[root@es7-64 ~]# mount | grep ' / '
/dev/mapper/centos-root on / type xfs (rw,relatime,attr2,inode64,noquota)
[root@es7-64 ~]#


If you see the “noquota” option, follow the steps below.

Edit the grub file :


vi /etc/default/grub


and find the line “GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX”


GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rd.lvm.lv=centos/swap vconsole.font=latarcyrheb-sun16 rd.lvm.lv=centos/root crashkernel=auto vconsole.keymap=us rhgb quiet"


edit by adding “rootflags=uquota,pquota” and the end of the line


GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rd.lvm.lv=centos/swap vconsole.font=latarcyrheb-sun16 rd.lvm.lv=centos/root crashkernel=auto vconsole.keymap=us rhgb quiet rootflags=uquota,pquota"


Once done, copy the file . We will backup, then create a new grub.cfg file


cp /boot/grub2/grub.cfg /boot/grub2/grub.cfg.orig



grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg


Lastly, reboot the server to see the kernel options changed. Once server is up, you can check it again by


mount | grep ' / '
