Vesta: After restart from Vestacp UI file system go to read only mode

[maksympetrenko]

Operating System (OS/VERSION):

CentOS 7.4

VestaCP Version:

0.9.8-18

Installed Software (what you got with the installer):

bash vst-install.sh --nginx yes --phpfpm yes --apache no --named yes --remi yes --vsftpd yes --proftpd no --iptables yes --fail2ban yes --quota yes --exim yes --dovecot yes --spamassassin yes --clamav yes --softaculous yes --mysql yes --postgresql no

Steps to Reproduce:

0) Using fresh installed CentOS 7.4
1) Install VestaCP from command line
bash vst-install.sh --nginx yes --phpfpm yes --apache no --named yes --remi yes --vsftpd yes --proftpd no --iptables yes --fail2ban yes --quota yes --exim yes --dovecot yes --spamassassin yes --clamav yes --softaculous yes --mysql yes --postgresql no

2) login as admin and go to 'Server' page (/list/server/)
3) press 'Restart' (sending request to /restart/system/?hostname=demo.vestacp.com)

4) System should down and any services not started
5) login via ssh, try do any operation (create/write a file, run service) and get the error ' failed (30: Read-only file system)'

If install with disabled File System Quota (using the parameter "--quota no") all works fine.
But if after try manual enable "FileSystem Disk Quota" from VestaCP UI -> Server -> Configure
and restart server then file system go into read-only mode.

in logs present
[ 336.838263] XFS (vda1): unknown mount option [usrjquota=aquota.user].

[bogorwebhost]

the problem is XFS lvm file system. reinstall centos with ext4 lvm partition.
maybe anyone have other solution? because some vps provider use default xfs lvm filesystem.

I can verify this issue as well. When installing and enabling File System Quota, upon restart, the machine is in read-only mode on XFS file systems. Re-installing while disabling File System Quota alleviates the problem.

I would most definitely like to see a fix for this considering that the default filesystem for CentOS 7 is XFS and not ext4 as it was in prior versions.

Can I fix this issue without reinstall ? Like removing some configurations that were made by VestaCP when I enable system quota through UI ? This is a bit pain.

Spent hours on it - but I think can disable quota without re-installing
```
sudo mount -o remount,rw /dev/vda1 /
Edit /etc/fstab as per https://forum.vestacp.com/viewtopic.php?t=15388
sudo reboot
Then login to VestaCP and from server configuration, set Quota to Off

[maksympetrenko]

When I edited /etc/fstab, and after trying to save it, got the error " failed (30: Read-only file system)"

[layanto]

Did you do this first?

sudo mount -o remount,rw /dev/vda1 /

You may need to change /dev/vda to match your drive

This will change the drive back to read write mode but will revert back to read only on next reboot, unless you fix the /etc/fstab

[napcok]

Correct mountoptions for XFS are:
defaults,uquota,gquota
Installer should check if filesystem is XFS and put it to fstab

According this post https://embraceubuntu.com/2006/01/29/move-home-to-its-own-partition/
I had tried to move /home to a new disk/partion and mount it in ext4 file system.
And Vesta works very well.

@napcok response work for me.

@napcok too bad there are fixes for many problems all over this project, but there's no one to accept them, because 'they haven't tested it'.
