‘quotacheck’ bug on Ubuntu 8.04 running in a XEN VPS

Well I am not sure if this bug is general accross the Ubuntu 8.04 family, but I have a Xen based VPS running Virtualmin and recently stumbled accross an issue with the quota calculations. You can follow the thread posted in the Virtualmin bug tracker but the basic problem was that I got the following errors:-

root@ycits01:/# quotacheck -u -g -f -m / quotacheck: Cannot create new quotafile //aquota.user.new: File exists quotacheck: Cannot initialise IO on new quotafile: File exists quotacheck: Cannot create new quotafile //aquota.group.new: File exists quotacheck: Cannot initialise IO on new quotafile: File exists

The solution was to run the following:-

mv /aquota.user.new /aquota.user.broken mv /aquota.group.new /aquota.group.broken quotacheck -u -g -f -m /

So I hope this is of use to somebody, now all I need to do is find out where I should report the bug!

I just thought I should create an entry to let everybody know that my previos post Compiling Firefly Media Server under Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) also applies to Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron).
