An issue with HestiaCP and the "Filesystem quota" option

I just installed HestiaCP on a VPS I recently purchased during Black Friday (bought from OrangeVPS). After installing and rebooting the system, suddenly all the VPS files became read-only.

I’ve tried it on Debian 11, Debian 12, and Ubuntu 20, but the result was still the same.

Finally, I tried not checking the “Filesystem quota” option, and it worked.

So, I think there’s an issue with HestiaCP and the “Filesystem quota” option.

The problem is where the quota is set.
If the quota is set in the /etc/default/grub (add rootflags=usrquota,grpquota) file, you will get this problem.
Use the /etc/fstab (add usrquota,grpquota) file and it will work fine.

sorry, how to set it?

with Debian 12 you can use this

nano /etc/default/grub
You will see something like this :
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=“rootflags=usrquota,grpquota”
try to remove only this rootflags=usrquota,grpquota
and save (ctrl+x)
(if you do not see rootflags=usrquota,grpquota then it is something else and I cannot help you any further.)

cp /boot/grub/grub.cfg /boot/grub/grub.cfg.orig

grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

and reboot
after reboot try to install.

Everything is fine with quotas. I have not seen any problems with file quotas during my entire time working with the beta version of the panel. There is a problem with cgroup, I can confirm this. Perhaps you have problems with your operating system distribution, or you do not use kvm
