Trouble activating xfs pquotas

Trouble activating xfs pquotas

[James Lawrie]

Hi,

I'm unable to activate project quotas on a partition which used to have 
it enabled - I just get "Function not implemented". The partition is 
mounted with pquota, and I can't seem to find any other reason this 
would happen.

Please see more information and output at 
http://serverfault.com/questions/351137/unable-to-re-implement-xfs-project-quotas-function-not-implemented 
- I'd really appreciate any advice.

Thank you,

James Lawrie

See my answer here:
http://serverfault.com/a/351241/10310

Copied here for the list:

Caveat: did you mount the volume directly with the quota options? I
know for sure that xfs doesn't support enabling quota (and many other
options) through "remount", though mount lists the options as enabled.
Here comes a non working example:

# mount -t xfs /dev/dm-0 /mnt/test
# mount
/dev/dm-0 on /mnt/test type xfs (rw)
# mount -o remount,pquota /mnt/test
# mount
/dev/dm-0 on /mnt/test type xfs (rw,pquota)

mount lists the mountpoint as quota enabled, but quotas won't actually
work. You must umount then mount.

Based on IRC conversations, the fs was never(?) properly mounted with quota in the first place; an actual remount w/ quota forced by a reboot seems to have resolved this.

That's right, thanks for updating the list for me. The fs did originally
have quotas enabled, but lost them at some point. My attempts to umount
must not have been clean enough.

Thanks for the help.
