Error setting disk quotas in ispmanager 6
Symptoms
An attempt to install the "Disk quotas" component in the Software configuration section fails with an error:
An error occurred while configuring software: failed to install the package 'ispmanager-pkg-quota'. View var/pkg.log for more details
Causes
- LXC or OpenVZ virtualization type is used;
linux-image-extra-virtual
package is not installed.
Instructions
Virtualization type check
When using a virtual server, if the LXC or OpenVZ virtualization types are used on a host, the disk quotas can only be set on that host.
To check the virtualization type on the server, execute the following command:
hostnamectl | grep Virtualization
In case the virtualization type shown in the output matches “lxc” or “openvz”, contact your hosting provider or hypervisor administrator to set disk quotas.
PLEASE NOTE!
We recommend enabling disk quotas on the host before installing the ispmanager 6 panel.
Linux-image-extra-virtual package installation
It is common for Debian-based operating systems to lack a package required for quotas to work.
To check if the linux-image-extra-virtual
package is installed, use the following command:
dpkg -l | grep linux-image-extra-virtual
If the package is not installed, the command output will be empty. To install the package manually, use the following command:
sudo apt install linux-image-extra-virtual
PLEASE NOTE!
If you are not sure that you can install the package or if you encounter problems during installation, please contact your hosting provider's support service or an administrating specialist.
Once the linux-image-extra-virtual
package is installed, try again to set the disk quotas setting in the panel.
