Hi - I'm getting an FTP error:
"Response: 450-Error during write to file: Disk quota exceeded"
so when I login to WHM to increase the disk quota on the specific account, I get the error in WHM:
"Sorry you cannot modify this account because doing so would exceed your disk space allotment. You have exceeded your disk space allotment by 5 Megabytes!"
If I go to the area to view disk quota use, it says "No users are over their quota."
Please advise!
Thanks,
Tim

Because overselling is enabled on all reseller accounts by default, typically this means that you have allocated sub-accounts more space then you have under your primary account, and they have now utilized said space, and now theres nothing left for the main account to allocate. You can check disk/bandwidth usage on the create new account screen (as that notes the actual amount of diskspace/bandwidth consumed).

I've tried to modify the packages quota size, and also tried under Quota Modification, but even when I REDUCE the quota, I'm getting the error:
Sorry you cannot modify this account because doing so would exceed your disk space allotment. You have exceeded your disk space allotment by 10 Megabytes!

Re: Disk quota error
Is this accurate though? Is your aggregate disk space usage over what you should have available in total (eg. 610mb total consumed between all accounts on a 600mb reseller account)?Binarymind wrote:Thanks Myles.porcupine wrote:

If not, I'd suggest filing a helpdesk ticket where we can gather more data and look into this issue in more detail. If so, then the function is performing exactly as it should (as you've consumed more resources then allowed by your package, and now cannot modify sub accounts as a result, aka time to consider upgrading).
