Package: quota Version: 4.01-8 Severity: important Hi all, I cannot install quota package on a jessie system, the configuration step always ends with the following error:
> Job for quota.service failed. See 'systemctl status quota.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details. > invoke-rc.d: initscript quota, action "start" failed > [...] > E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) > Failed to perform requested operation on package. Trying to recover: > [...] > Job for quota.service failed. See 'systemctl status quota.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details. > invoke-rc.d: initscript quota, action "start" failed. and the output of 'systemctl status quota.service' is: > quotaon.sh[13003]: Checking quotas...Warning: user quota not configured in filesystem `/home.' ... (warning). > quotaon.sh[13003]: Warning: user quota not configured in filesystem `/srv.' ... (warning). > quotaon.sh[13003]: done. > quotaon.sh[13003]: Turning on quotas...quotaon: cannot find /home/aquota.user on /dev/mapper/vg0-home [/home] > quotaon.sh[13003]: quotaon: cannot find /srv/aquota.user on /dev/mapper/vg0-srv [/srv] > systemd[1]: quota.service: main process exited, code=exited, status=2/INVALIDARGUMENT > systemd[1]: Failed to start Check And Enable File System Quotas. > systemd[1]: Unit quota.service entered failed state. My /etc/fstab is the follwing /dev/mapper/vg0-root / ext4 user_xattr,acl,errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/mapper/vg0-home /home ext4 user_xattr,acl,usrquota 0 2 /dev/mapper/vg0-srv /srv ext4 user_xattr,acl,usrquota 0 2 /dev/mapper/vg0-swap none swap sw 0 0 Downloading the source tarball of quota I've tried to follow the whole installation procedure and I think that the execution of 'touch /var/lib/quota/new' (line 148 of postinst script) should be executed before the start of the quota service, otherwise the quotaon.sh always fails with "Warning: user quota not configured in filesystem \`$1.'". This is what happens during the installation: 1. postinst executed 2. quota start => quotaon.sh executed 3. no force, no skip 4. no /var/lib/quota/new file exists because no touch already executed 5. so no full check but only a call to the check_quota function 6. no /mountpoint/aquota.user file exists because quotas has never been computed yet 7. and so a warning is printed and the installation ends in error If the touch was executed before quota started, the installation procedure would change and at point 4 the new file would exist and a full check would be performed on all quota-enabled filesystems. As a suggestion I also think that the function check_quota in quotaon.sh file should execute a full check whenever invoked on a quota-enabled filesystem where there isn't any aquota.user file, i.e. lines 33-35 of quotaon.sh should be: > if [ ! -e $1/quota.user -a ! -e $1/aquota.user ] ; then > log_warning_msg "Warning: user quota configured in filesystem \`$1' but no aquota.user exists, performing full check" > $check -c $CHECKALLFLAGS > elif [ "$4" != "journaled" -a ! -f $quotaisoff ] ; then If I'm wrong what have I missed?
