Try this, (found on the sunsolve, knowledgebase) worked for me.

Cut straight from the page.


When trying to add or modify virtual sites on a 550 the UI may return an error and not successfully update
'Unable to update the on disk quota information with the quota information in memory.'
This will occur if the V7 kernel patch is applied before the V6 patch. The V7 patch does not include some needed files that are updated in V6. To fix this, do the following:

Download both C6 and C7 kernel pkgs to /home/packages 
Follow the recipe below:

[root packages]# gpg -d RaQ550-All-Kernel-0.0.1-2.4.19C6_V-1.pkg >
RaQ550-All-Kernel-0.0.1-2.4.19C6_V-1.tar.gz
[root packages]# mkdir V6
[root packages]# tar fxzv RaQ550-All-Kernel-0.0.1-2.4.19C6_V-1.tar.gz-CV6
[root packages]# cd V6/RPMS
[root RPMS]# rpm -Uvh --force --nodeps *rpm
[root RPMS]# cd ../..
[root packages]# gpg -d RaQ550-All-Kernel-0.0.1-2.4.19C7_V-1-3.pkg >
RaQ550-All-Kernel-0.0.1-2.4.19C7_V-1-3.tar.gz
[root packages]# mkdir V7
[root packages]# tar fxzv RaQ550-All-Kernel-0.0.1-2.4.19C7_V-1-3.tar.gz-CV7
[root packages]# cd V7/RPMS
[root RPMS]# rpm -Uvh --nodeps --force *rpm
[root RPMS]# /sbin/reboot
You can remove the C6 package from the list of uninstalled packages by modifying it's record with /usr/sausalito/bin/cceclient

After the reboot, sites and users should once again be possible to create.  Basically, the C7 kernel needs the base packages release with the C6 kernel.

HTH
