Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I decided today I'd get quota's working on our system. I did the following: touch /usr/quota.users chown root.wheel /usr/quota.users chmod 600 /usr/quota.users Edited /etc/fstab: /dev/sd0s1f /usr ufs rw,userquota 1 1 Edited /etc/sysconfig: check_quotas=YES REBOOTED.. The system booted fine until it said it was checking the quotas. The drive chugged along for awhile, then. .. silence.. SO, I changed /etc/sysconfig back to check_quotas=NO, rebooted, and ran quotacheck -av manually with top running on another VTY. quotacheck chugged through the disk for a bit, then spit out a bunch of "fixed:" lines showing the updates it was making, then sat there. Now, a look at top showed it starting to run like crazy as soon as the "sitting there" begins. Any ideas? tia. --Steve (http://pr.erau.edu/~swaits)
