repquota: Cannot stat() mounted device /dev/root: No such file or directory

Linode Staff

I keep getting the error in the title when using cPanel on my CentOS 7 Linode. Any Ideas what the culprit would be?

All I saw online for answers were 4+ year old blog posts. Thanks in advance!

I found these related posts on a couple other platforms which seem pretty relevant:

These are a little dated, and you would probably want to do more investigating based on your particular application before running any of the commands or solutions they list, but the troubleshooting looks good.
