To reproduce the problem should be relatively easy.
Install Ubuntu server from Ubuntu server live iso with 2 disks. In my case a
Proxmox (KVM) vm.
In this case I also used "normal" virtual SCSI hardware to have "/dev/sda" and
"/dev/sdb" (no fancy vda/vdb)
Just go through the installer (I only installed ssh server for easy access).
On partitioning I just took the preset -> Use full disk with LVM -> Everything
was pre selected
root@quota-report02:~# apt update
root@quota-report02:~# apt install quota
...
root@quota-report02:~# repquota -a

# We could already stop here but to also see the quotacheck problem:
root@quota-report02:~# mkdir /data
# Create a partition on /dev/sdb
