I have a clean install of Virtualmin on Ubuntu and get the following error when checking my configuration:
The module could not find the mount point for your home directories filesystem /home. Quotas editing has been disabled.
I can’t figure out how to get it to go away. Can someone please point me in the right direction? This is the first time I’ve played with Virtualmin so am pretty new to this.
System info:
Ubuntu 12.04
Virtualmin 3.97 gpl
OpenVZ system
Howdy,
It sounds like there’s no entry for the “/” mountpoint in /etc/fstab.
You may want to take the one from /etc/mtab and put it into /etc/fstab, and see if that resolves the problem you’re seeing.

That didn’t work, unless I did something wrong. The last line in the fstab was copied over from mtab.
root@box:~# cat /etc/fstab
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts rw,gid=5,mode=620 0 0
none /run/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
/dev/simfs / simfs rw,relatime 0 0
Did I copy the wrong line? I also rebooted after making the changes.
root@box:~# cat /etc/mtab
/dev/simfs / simfs rw,relatime 0 0
proc /proc proc rw,relatime 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs rw,relatime 0 0
none /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc binfmt_misc rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime 0 0
none /dev devtmpfs rw,relatime 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts rw,relatime,gid=5,mode=620,ptmxmode=000 0 0
none /run tmpfs rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,size=3278288k,mode=755 0 0
none /run/lock tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,size=5120k 0 0
none /run/shm tmpfs rw,relatime 0 0
So, first make a backup of /etc/fstab… but does it help to copy the full mtab over the fstab?
You can do that with:
cp /etc/mtab /etc/fstab
