Unable to setup the Hard Disk quota for a domain: field is greyed-out, hard disk quota is not supported due to configuration of server file system

 
centosdomainshostingkerneloperating system

Symptoms

  • The Hard quota on disk space is not available for editing at Domains > example.com > Web Hosting Access page:

    Unlimited. Hard disk quota is not supported due to the configuration of the server file system

  • Migration of a subscription that uses hard disk quota fails:

    Failed to synchronize subscription with plan
    Migration tools tried to perform operation in 3 attempts: Plesk error [1023]: quota - Description: hard disk quota is not supported due to configuration of server file system. Requested: 1073741824. Allowed: 0

  • Subscription cannot be synchronized with the corresponding service plan due to the following error:

    Syncing the subscription with its service plan failed because some of the services or resources defined in the plan cannot be actually provisioned with the subscription.

    "Information: Properties of the subscription example.com were set to correspond with the actual system state, they are still unsynced with the plan"


    Available value indicates the actual state of a resource or a service in the system.

    Clicking OK will initiate setting the subscription values according to the available values.

    OR:

    ERR [panel] Unable to apply plan changes to domain. Error: The plan was not applied because of problems with the following functionality: hard disk quota is not supported due to configuration of server file system

Cause

Unconfigured disk quota on operating system level.

Resolution

Warning: configuring of the disk quota on the operating system is an administrative task and is not supported by Plesk.
All actions below are the common steps and performed at own risk.

Note: hard disk quota setup depends on the filesystem. In the example below, the steps are performed for ext4 and xfs filesystems, while on another filesystem actions will differ.

For ext4 filesystem:

  1. Connect to the server via SSH.

  2. Make sure that the quota is supported by the kernel. It should be compiled into the kernel or loaded as a module.

    To check if the quota is configured properly use this command:

    # /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/usermng --isquotable

    Normally, it should return the "0" value.

    If the utility returns the following error message:

    usermng: Unable to turn on user quota. User quota not supported on device '/dev/sda1'
    System error 3: No such process

    OR

    usermng: Userquota is not enabled on device: /dev/mapper/centos-root

    then enable quota in the /etc/fstab file for the partitions on which Plesk stores data on, e.g. as follows:

    /dev/hda1 / ext4 defaults,usrquota 1 1

  3. Remount the partition:

    # mount -o remount /

  4. Enable quota (use actual partition name, /dev/sda1 is an example):

    # sudo tune2fs -O quota /dev/sda1

  5. Create, check and…
