See also http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=2325 Probably during a crash the fs got screwed up and resulted in a file with a large UID. This caused quotacheck to run that long time. I first realized this when my PCNFS users started to write files as nobody which appeared in FreeBSD as a file with UID 4294967294 IIRC. I changed this behaviour with two rather ugly kernel patches that map all UIDs greater than 65535 to nobody :-) -Andre > Szia! > > even now that you know how to clean this up, it should not have > happenned.. > did you have a crash that corrupted the disk? > > julian@freebsd.org > > On Sun, 2 Aug 1998, Pecsenyanszky Istvan wrote: > > > Problem solved.
