Failed to create virtual server

I installed Virtualmin onto Ubuntu 10.04 desktop and tried to create a virtual server, but am getting the message :

Failed to create virtual server : setquota: Quota file not found or has wrong format. setquota: Not all specified mountpoints are using quota.

The output of my fstab is

proc /proc proc nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0

/ was on /dev/sda1 during installation

UUID=4c66c5bc-da06-4ec6-ab13-cd4416c57546 / ext4 grpquota,errors=remount-ro,usrquota,rw 0 1

swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation

UUID=91f3679c-79c3-42a8-9f79-ce69457bdf7a none swap sw 0 0

and the output of my mtab is

Can anyone help me fix the problem?

Hrm, that’s an interesting issue… are you by chance using a VPS? If so, what sort of virtualization software is it using?

Hi, No, I just installed Virtualmin onto a clean copy of ubuntu 10.04 desktop, it’s happened a few times, everything seems to work fine up until i attempt to create a virtual server.

I’m facing the same problem with new ubuntu 10.04 LTS install. Everything works well and it says system is ready for virtualmin until I try to create virtual server.

When I try to add server it throws me the message:

Failed to create virtual server : setquota: Quota file not found or has wrong format. setquota: Not all specified mountpoints are using quota.

When I try to enable Diskquota in webmin>system>disk quotas, I get the following error:

quotaon: Cannot find quota file on / [/dev/sda3] to turn quotas on/off.

Also under Diskquota status it shows Status: User and Group Quotas Inactive

Output of my fstab:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # Use 'blkid -o value -s UUID' to print the universally unique identifier # for a device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name # devices that works even if disks are added and removed.
