| Summary | 0010059: quota service did not start properly on firefly on reboot | ||||
| Description | I had to restart it manually. The reason was that /dev/mapper/home aka /home was not mounted/ready when the quota.service wanted to start, at it then failed with: May 27 12:48:01 firefly systemd[1]: Starting quota.service - Initial Check File System Quotas... May 27 12:48:01 firefly quota-initial-check.sh[1866231]: Checking quotas... May 27 12:48:01 firefly quota-initial-check.sh[1866243]: quotacheck: Cannot guess format from filename on /dev/mapper/home. Please specify format on commandline. May 27 12:48:01 firefly systemd[1]: quota.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE | ||||
| Additional Information | Solution is probably to defer starting it more, until /home is properly mounted. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||
| This is a different problem I think. The quotacheck command requires a type option for the /dev/mapper/home device because it cannot deduce the type from the name. The command to call is: # quotacheck -F vfsv1 -cugmv /home (the -F vfsv1 is what is missing). Now, I do not know how to fix quota.service. I did not find the service file :/ | |
| I think this problem may have solved itself now. | |
| Ah I just saw that you did not actually reboot recently. So this issue is very likely gone because I already manually ran quotacheck with the option and the file triggering this check is already gone. I documented the setup | |
