You need to follow the steps given below:
$ touch /quota.user /quota.group
$ chmod 600 /quota.*
$ mount -o remount /
$ quotaoff -a
$ vi /etc/fstab
( open ‘fstab’ file and add usrquota,grpquota to the partition where you want to have quota on. That is, for example, add the entry like:
/dev/ubd0 / ext3 defaults,noatime,usrquota,grpquota 1 0 )
$ quotaon -a
$ chmod 600 /quota.*
$ mount -o remount /
$ quotaoff -a
$ vi /etc/fstab
( open ‘fstab’ file and add usrquota,grpquota to the partition where you want to have quota on. That is, for example, add the entry like:
/dev/ubd0 / ext3 defaults,noatime,usrquota,grpquota 1 0 )
$ quotaon -a
You should be able to run a quotacheck nor /scripts/initquotas in your cpanel server without any problem.
