Centos 7 64 CPanel quota

I have just installed a new server with 64b and I still have the infamous quota problem

I received this error

repquota: Cannot stat() mounted device /dev/root: No such file or directory

but looking at my /etc/mtab I see two lines about /dev/root

the first one with quota

/dev/root / ext4 rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro,data=ordered,jqfmt=vfsv0,usrjquota=quota.user 0 0

and at the end

/dev/root /var/tmp ext4 rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro,data=ordered,jqfmt=vfsv0,usrjquota=quota.user 0 0

which certainly explain why I can't create the symlink

ln -s /dev/sda /dev/root

any help appreciated

I am having the same problem here at Linode. Cant find any solution on the net.

Hello,

This really depends on a bit of background. Are you running cPanel and trying to use quotas? This may be the cause of these messages. The Linode Kernel does not support this so you would need to use the distribution supplied kernel:

https://www.linode.com/docs/tools-refer … l-with-kvm">https://www.linode.com/docs/tools-reference/custom-kernels-distros/run-a-distribution-supplied-kernel-with-kvm

you may also want to try running the following commands although I cannot guarantee this will resolve the messages for you:

ln -s /dev/sda /dev/root

/scripts/fixquotas

I hope this helps!
