Disk space usage showing 0 Mb on VPS

I have just installed a cPanel on new VPS account but it’s simply not showing any disk usage even with quoatas turned on. I have tried running /scripts/fixquotas but it didn’t help and it returned error: quotacheck: Cannot find filesystem to check or filesystem not mounted with quota option..

To make cPanel calculate disk usage you need to execute following commands:

touch /home/quota.user
touch /home/quota.group
chmod 600 /home/quota.user
chmod 600 /home/quota.group
quotacheck -acugvm

The result of the last command should look something like this:

quotacheck: Your kernel probably supports journaled quota but you are not using it. Consider switching to journaled quota to avoid running quotacheck after an unclean shutdown.
quotacheck: Scanning /dev/sda [/] done
quotacheck: Cannot stat old user quota file: No such file or directory
quotacheck: Old group file not found. Usage will not be substracted.
quotacheck: Checked 22164 directories and 750401 files
quotacheck: Old file not found.

By now it should work already but just to make sure execute quotas one more time

/scripts/fixquotas -force

That’s it!
