If you want me to do some tests, tell me. I just remembered - try running quotacheck with the -v option. It will report any unknown uids/gids in the file system. Very large uids/gids (and probably negative uids) will cause quotacheck to run for a long time since it doesn't handle large gaps in uids very well. -- Mike Pritchard mpp@FreeBSD.org "Go that way.
