CPanel/OpenVZ Quota Problems




Posted by Squidix - SamBarrow, 03-13-2011, 12:54 AM
I've refused to use OpenVZ for the last few years, and always used Xen. Well the other day I decided to give OpenVZ one more chance and it's a complete disaster. First I got a ton of quota errors for reaching my inode limit, finally got them to up my inode limit. But I'm still getting the errors! I have plenty of disk space, and another 50,000 inodes available at least. This is what happens when I try to restore a cpanel backup file using /scripts/restorepkg: tar: ./public_ftp: Cannot mkdir: Permission denied tar: ./public_html: Cannot mkdir: Permission denied tar: .: Cannot utime: Operation not permitted tar: .: Cannot change mode to rwxr-xr-x: Operation not permitted tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors Cannot write to /home/cucrysta/.gemrc: Permission denied at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.2/x86_64-linux/YAML/Syck.pm line 108. /bin/chgrp: changing group of `/var/cpanel/bandwidth/cucrysta-all-rate.rrd': Disk quota exceeded/bin/chgrp: changing group of `/var/cpanel/bandwidth/cucrysta-ftp-peak.rrd': Disk quota exceeded/bin/chgrp: changing group of `/var/cpanel/bandwidth/c2u.crystalserve.net-all-rate.rrd': Disk quota exceeded/bin/chgrp: changing group of `/var/cpanel/bandwidth/cucrysta-smtp-peak.rrd': Disk quota exceeded/bin/chgrp: changing group of `/var/cpanel/bandwidth/cucrysta-http-peak.rrd': Disk quota exceeded/bin/chgrp: changing group of `/var/cpanel/bandwidth/cucrysta-all-peak.rrd': Disk quota exceeded/bin/chgrp: changing group of `/var/cpanel/bandwidth/cucrysta-ftp-rate.rrd': Disk quota exceeded/bin/chgrp: changing group of `/var/cpanel/bandwidth/c2u.crystalserve.net-all-peak.rrd': Disk quota exceeded/bin/chgrp: changing group of `/var/cpanel/bandwidth/c2u.crystalserve.net-http-peak.rrd': Disk quota exceeded/bin/chgrp: changing group of `/var/cpanel/bandwidth/cucrysta-http-rate.rrd': Disk quota exceeded/bin/chgrp: changing group of `/var/cpanel/bandwidth/cucrysta-smtp-rate.rrd': Disk quota exceeded/bin/chgrp: changing group of `/var/cpanel/bandwidth/cucrysta-imap-rate.rrd': Disk quota exceeded/bin/chgrp: changing group of `/var/cpanel/bandwidth/cucrysta-pop3-rate.rrd': Disk quota exceeded/bin/chgrp: changing group of `/var/cpanel/bandwidth/c2u.crystalserve.net-http-rate.rrd': Disk quota exceeded/bin/chgrp: changing group of `/var/cpanel/bandwidth/cucrysta-pop3-peak.rrd': Disk quota exceeded/bin/chgrp: changing group of `/var/cpanel/bandwidth/cucrysta-imap-peak.rrd': Disk quota exceeded/bin/chgrp: changing group of `/var/cpanel/bandwidth/cucrysta': Disk quota exceeded/bin/chgrp: changing group of `/var/cpanel/bandwidth/cucrysta': Disk quota exceeded/bin/chgrp: changing group of `/var/cpanel/bandwidth/c2u.crystalserve.net': Disk quota exceeded/bin/chgrp: changing group of `/var/cpanel/bandwidth/c2u.crystalserve.net': Disk quota exceededDone /bin/gtar: ./www: Cannot create symlink to `public_html': Permission denied /bin/gtar: ./tmp: Cannot mkdir: Permission denied /bin/gtar: ./tmp/awstats: Cannot mkdir: No such file or directory Then about 100 more permission denied errors. It restores the account but their home dir is empty.

Okay I've figured out all that is caused because it can't chown the users home dir to the user. I tried to do the chown manually and got "disk quota exceeded" The directory is empty though, that's what's got me stuck. I can't even chown a blank text file, says disk quota exceeded. I ran quotaoff -a too, no luck

cat /proc/vz/vzquota what does that show?

cat: /proc/vz/vzquota: No such file or directory

The only files in /proc/vz are veinfo and vestat, nothing useful in them either.

Figured it out! Had to get them to increase quotaugidlimit
