I'll see what I can to, it seems I misjudged the amount of people that got hit 
by this.

Was just nailed by this one myself.  Lots of users just lost their mailbox
quota.  Is my only solution here to grab quota from stretch?

I'm wondering - does this mean that quotas are now unusable in jessie and we 
have to wait until a new Debian stable release (or use testing)? Is there maybe 
a workaround for this issue for those who want (or have) to stick to jessie?

Thanks, good to hear that.

I doubt it will make it into 8, although somebody might create a
backport. You may have to wait for the next release I'm afraid.

No surprise, the bug was fixed in version 4.03-2!

Michael


O, Thank you wery much!
I forgot to check 4.03-2 version.

I installed from the unstable to test in stable debian 8, and it working 
fine!
Will it be aviable for update in Debian 8 or just in the next, Debian 9 
?

Bug#788963: quota: Failed to start Check And Enable File System Quotas on Debian Jessie

[Michael Meskes]

My guess is the reason is systemd's enabling quota before our service is
enabled. Can you please check in journalctl if that's the case? You should have
entries there that talk about enabling quotas before quota.service is run, if
at all.

This needs to be fixed asap, but the question is how as systemd offers
features, like automatic on demand checking when a device is connected, that
the quota package doesn't have, while systemd lacks other features, like
quota's creation of quota files and check only when not clean unmounted. This
information is pre-Jessie so it might have changed but you get the gist.

Bug#788963: quota: Failed to start Check And Enable File System Quotas on Debian Jessie

[Hendrik Naumann]

Hi

I have similar problems. Somehow the filesystem quota gets enabled
before the quota.service target is run.

journalctl gives:

Oct 05 17:47:37 fs-bm-1 systemd[1]: quota.service: main process exited,
code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
Oct 05 17:47:37 fs-bm-1 systemd[1]: Failed to start Check And Enable
File System Quotas.
Oct 05 17:47:37 fs-bm-1 systemd[1]: Unit quota.service entered failed state.

To check this I introduced "quotaon -ap" into/usr/share/quota/quotaon.sh
 on line 48 (before "LC_MESSAGES=C $on -ap|grep -q "is off" || exit 0").

After introducing the line the journal reads like this

Oct 05 17:50:40 fs-bm-1 quotaon.sh[278]: group quota on /srv/nfs4/users
(/dev/mapper/fs--ng--1_vg1-home_lv) is off
Oct 05 17:50:40 fs-bm-1 quotaon.sh[278]: user quota on /srv/nfs4/users
(/dev/mapper/fs--ng--1_vg1-home_lv) is on
Oct 05 17:50:40 fs-bm-1 systemd[1]: quota.service: main process exited,
code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
Oct 05 17:50:40 fs-bm-1 systemd[1]: Failed to start Check And Enable
File System Quotas.
Oct 05 17:50:40 fs-bm-1 systemd[1]: Unit quota.service entered failed state.

Because group quota is off quotaon.sh continues but since the userquota
is already set on the final "quotaon -aug" fails.

quotaon -aug
quotaon: using /srv/nfs4/users/aquota.user on
/dev/mapper/fs--ng--1_vg1-home_lv [/srv/nfs4/users]: Device or resource busy

If the quotas needs to be checked this may fail for the same reasons.

I am not shure, but this may also lead to wrong quota informations after
file system crashes?

Thanks

Hendrik Naumann
