Quotas not working in my installation

Help! (Home for newbies)
1

Hello!

I used to use virtualmin all the time, but a while ago I switched VPS hosting providers, and now I reinstalled virtualmin. Although now, It doesn’t seem to work. When I “Recheck the Configuration” It Gives a single warning, The module could not find the mount point for your home directories filesystem /home. Quotas editing has been disabled.

Now, I admit I have modified Virtualmin slightly, but nothing that should affect quotas. See https://github.com/webmin/webmin/compare/master...kkprince1998:cloudflare-fix

I also added some of my own security (not virtualmin related), that could affect virtualmin. I have it setup that when I login as a certain user on SSH it mounts an encfs (Encrypted fuse Filesys.) from /home/myuser.enc to /home/myuser, as well as SSH dual auth with pubkey and passwd.

I have looked this up and seen https://www.virtualmin.com/node/9437, but not much else.

Below are some stuff that may help debug this issue.

Webmin version 1.760

Virtualmin version 4.18.gpl

Virtualized on OpenVZ with Fuse enabled.

Howdy,

Hmm, what does your /etc/mtab file look like?

I have included it in the original post.

Howdy,

Ah, that may be the source of the issue… the /etc/mtab is what’s used to determine where /home is.

If you’re logged in via SSH (and when that /home entry is in /etc/mtab), are you then able to enable the quotas?

No,

The automatic mount mounts /home/myuser.enc to /home/myuser.

/home is a subdir of / (root)

Also, this funny little automount will only mount when I am under myuser on SSH.

I doubt that that is the problem
