[mod.computers.vax] Duplicate diskquota entry

At the recent DECUS Europe Symposium at Hamburg I heard about a problem
for which we found a workaround.

After a system crash the system came back up but complained during startup
about "Duplicate diskquota entries". ANALYZE/DISK/REPAIR and DISKQUOTA
REBUILD reported the same problem but weren't able to repair the problem.

Just by luck we found that there were some files (I believe it were
SYS$ERRORLOG:ERRLOG.SYS and SYS$MANAGER:ACCOUNTNG.DAT) that were owned
by UIC [0,0] which happens to be treated in a special way by DISKQUOTA.

Just deleting these files after copying them to tape (or was is SET FILE
/PROT=something legal ?? it's too long ago) repaired the problem.
