I run a shell server and I suspect that some of my recent crashes have been due to a problem with quotas. When I was running 2.2.2 I had a strange problem with quotas. Whenever I had files owned by uid's of users that were no longer on the system, the size of my quota.user file became very strange. It would on occasion be reported as being greater than the total size of the drive itself. I found that when I checked for and removed unowned files, this problem did not occer. Now under 2.2.6, I thought the problem was fixed so I removed some of my work around scripting. It seems that instead of having strange sizes of my quota.user file, my system would randomly crash. When it does these crashes, it makes no comment in my /var/log/messages to give me any hint as to the cause. After I removed the owned files, this no longer seems to be happening. If anyone knows anything about this, please let me know. Joe Gleason Tasam To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
