Ok, I asked because according to mount(2) that option appears to be ignored except for xfs filesystems.
If you look at /proc/self/mountinfo you'll see that usrquota is in fact in the list of mount options, so lxc is respecting that. At the moment your problem is that the device backing your rootfs, /dev/lxc/test, does not exist in the container. Once you add that (for instance using a lxc.mount.entry to bind it in or using a lxc.hook.autodev), I suspect you'll run into other problems. I can't get quota to be happy here using a loop-backed rootfs, but a real device should get you further. ** Changed in: lxc (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: lxc (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1515615 Title: Disk quotas don't work in LXC containers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxc/+bug/1515615/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
