System is Ubuntu 11.04.

Server is located at a IDC, and today they had some problems which led to server being rebooted.

Uploading files doesn't work now, and I tried creating files with vim/nano/pico, everything gives me error: ERROR WRITING: DISK QUOTA EXCEEDED

Now, how can that be? The user is setup with virtualmin and the user has UNLIMITED storage. I tested with deleting a 10gb backup file, which didn't help.

All partitions have 0-9% usage.

Any help in resolving the matter is appreciated.

Answer 1

Problem fixed.

It was a group quota problem.

quotaoff -g /dev/sdb1 (which holds my home directories) turned off all group quotas.

This post pointed me in the right direction.
