Quota problems, help!

Hello, I just recently installed Virtualmin on a CentOS VPS, and when I try to create virtual servers, I get the following:

setquota: Cannot set quota for user 501 from kernel on /dev/simfs: No such process setquota: Can't write quota for 501 on /dev/simfs: No such process

When I try to disable quotas either through webmin or the console using methods I found online (quotaoff -a), I get the following:

quotaoff: quotactl on /dev/simfs [/]: Invalid argument

What could be causing this? Here is my fstab for diagnostics:

none /dev/pts devpts rw 0 0

And mtab:

/dev/simfs / reiserfs rw,usrquota,grpquota 0 0 /proc /proc proc rw 0 0 /sys /sys sysfs rw 0 0 none /dev tmpfs rw 0 0 none /dev/pts devpts rw 0 0 none /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc binfmt_misc rw 0 0

Any help is appreciated, as I cannot get any virtual servers working with this error.

Howdy,

Yeah, some VPS's don't play well with quotas, unfortunately.

You can tell Virtualmin to not use quotas by going into System Settings -> Module Config, and set "Quota setup for domain and mail users" to "No".

After that, it'll stop trying to set that whenever you create new Virtual Servers.

How do you modify quotas to off for existing Virtual Servers?
