Following this guide: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-enable-user-and-group-quotas
Everything seems to work until this step:
quotacheck -cum /
The error text I received is:
quotacheck: Mountpoint (or device) / not found or has no quota enabled.
quotacheck: Cannot find filesystem to check or filesystem not mounted with quota option.
I tried edquota some_user, just to see if I could get any further. The error for that was:
No filesystems with quota detected.
I’m pretty clueless with all of this, so I’d appreciate any help.
Thanks!
