-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- A few weeks ago, I configured a FreeBSD-2.0 system for quotas on one disk (mount point /VOL1). I was able to use edquota, repquota, quotacheck, all without problems. A few days ago I found the need to use quotas on another filesystem (/VOL2), which is on a different physical disk from /VOL2 (I doubt that matters). Since doing so, I have been plagued with intermittant page faults and reboots when I run any of the quota utilities. For example, quotacheck -v -a will often cause a reboot (no page fault) after it finishes checking /VOL1. edquota fails as well when it attempts to update user.quota, but it SOMETIMES gives a page fault (I didn't record the information, unfortunately). Usually it just reboots. Sometimes it even works like it should :). Disabling quotas on /VOL2 makes the symptoms go away. (And, no, this is not the same disk that I had reported problems with earlier this week - that's the one that works correctly). I doubt it is relavent, but when I took the system down to enable quotas, I took advantage of the downtime to install 16MB more memory and a fourth SCSI disk (quotas are NOT enabled on the new disk). In case it matters, my hardware config is as follows: 486DX2-66 VESA local bus w/128K SRAM cache and 32MB DRAM Cirrus GD5426 VESA SVGA Adaptec 1542B (Fujitsu ???? 500MB, Maxtor 7213S, CDC 97171-327, HP 97548S, NEC CDR-74 external CD-ROM) Archive VP150e tape drive (QIC-02) Microsoft bus mouse SoundBlaster Pro Standard AT-I/O card (2s, 1p, 1g) NE2000 ethernet card Has anyone else seen this problem, or is it just me? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6 iQBFAgUBLvf9Z2ADWC0MDkc5AQGMewF+OvaE2lUa3SJ6EPFhg1d4n6y0bxxMtuoO RJt5PBW/igcFKnouE43FDXldhfbdcsu5 =o8Vz -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
