edquota: Cannot stat() mounted device /dev/root

A disk quota may be a limit set by a administrator that restricts usage of file system in Operating Systems. The function of setting quotas to disks is to allocate restricted disk-space for accounts according to shared hosting packages.

It throws a error as below, when updating them on your server.

edquota: Cannot stat() mounted device /dev/root: No such file or directory
No filesystems with quota detected.

Looking at the error, it looks like /dev/root does not exists. Check if it does.

# ll /dev/root

If it does not exists, create it with command

# ln -s /dev/xvda /dev/root

Now, time to update quota on your server.

# /scripts/fixquotas –force

It will show the proper quota in your cPanel now . If you continue to face any problems, contact your web hosting provider. On a Linux dedicated server OR a Linux cPanel VPS, simply follow the steps as above.
