Description Surakshan Mendis 2005-05-23 18:58:55 UTC
I have a working quota system on Gentoo Linux, kernel (2.6.11.7 and on another
machine 2.6.10) configured and userspace tools such as edquota and quotatool
working fine. It does NOT work with webmin. I can view user a quota but if I
attempt to change the quota (say increase it) the new value is not saved. There
are no errors shown as far as I can tell. Webmin retains the old value.

Using other tools such as edquota I can confirm webmin has not changed the
quota. Using other tools such as quotatool or edquota I can successfully set
quota levels (this is what webmin cannot do). Visiting webmin again shows the
new quota value as set by the other tool. 

Basically webmin cannot set quota values and there's no errors. It displays the
current quota value fine, and shows the new value if set by another tool.

Looks like it is specific to webmin 1.200, it may also be specific to Gentoo
see:

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Assume quota system working in general
1. log into webmin
2. Change users disk quota


Actual Results:  
No errors, changes not saved

Expected Results:  
New diskquota to be set

note: I'm running this on a LVM2 partition but that should not matter. The
sourceforge reference shows the problem with another gentoo user without LVM.

To me this is a major problem, but I'm rating it as normal since I heavily
depend on the quota module but not everyone would

Can you please try 1.210?
Comment 2 Surakshan Mendis 2005-06-24 21:17:49 UTC
Unfortunately the problem is still there in 1.210 of webmin.
Looks like upstream cannot create the problem but other gentoo users can.

this is fixed as of 230...
