Hi, I've been having some problems with my last two buildworlds (18 and 30 Jan) on a remote machine - the first of these, it took about half an hour between booting and being able to log in or access any services (i.e. before sshd and all the other daemons start) and the second was up to about an hour. Looking through the logs, it seems that the delay comes just after named starts up - at about the time quotacheck happens. Manually running quotacheck confirms that this step is taking a looong time. I have two filesystems with quotas enabled, and df shows that they aren't particularly full: Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on ... /dev/ad0s1f 6450348 5924 5928397 0% /home /dev/ad2s1f 13804609 796544 11903697 6% /data The number of files on them hasn't increased much over time either, so I can't work out why my boot times are deteriorating so much. They are only IDE drives, but the machine isn't exactly low-spec and I'm surprised at the amount of time this is taking - the fact that things have got worse recently raises suspicions in my mind at least. I guess I can turn quotas off (I have plenty of space anyway for the time being) and it's not as if the machine gets booted often, but it troubles me. Any clues would be appreciated...
