Getting rid of #options DUMMYNET #options IPDIVERT #divert sockets # Disk quotas are supported when this option is enabled. #options QUOTA #enable disk quotas allowed me to have the machine function in a normal state. The problem state was that I was unable to login to the system in multi user mode. There *seemed* to be a lot of processes blocking on something. I dont know what as I was unable to login. I thought at first it was that syslog problem with /dev/console, but I rebooted with syslogd off and I was able to get to a login prompt briefly. After that the system became unstable with too many files open I had to reboot. I am posting this in case anyone else has seen something similar. dmesg below. Kernel config is basically GENERIC with uneeded device drivers removed. MAXUSERS is set at 256. As the box is production, I cant fiddle with it right now, but I can come back in during off hours and do whatever would be useful to try and track this down. I do have another box with quotas enabled, but its nowhere nearly as busy, particularly as I tried to bring up quota support on my mail partition which is fairly busy. (mount with soft updates enabled). Anyone see anything similar ? avail memory = 911224832 (889868K bytes) Preloaded elf kernel "kernel" at 0xc030d000.
