I would like to hear if anybody else has encountered problems similary to the I have. Every 1 or 2 weeks our SUN 4/280 goes down with "panic: diskquota". The maschine runs SUN OS 4.0EXPORT and is used for classes of undergraduateds learing scheme. Most crashes happens at night, when only a few people are working. If someone has any idea what could cause the problem I would like to hear about it. A strange thing I've seen is, that when the maschine boots and it mounts /home an errormessage like: "mount /dev/xd0h /home WARNING unknown option quota" (or so) appears on the console. Here's also a $c from the core-dump.

Every 1 or 2 weeks our SUN 4/280 goes down with "panic: >diskquota".... Yes we have seen this here. (Sun-4/280 running SunOS 4.0). We reported this to Sun and received an SO number but no bug reference number (I am not sure much was done about this). We turned off quotas until we can get a fix for it (so far no word and this is an open call since Sept). A quick look at the README file for the 4.0.1 patch tape does not show any mention of this being fixed. --Fuat INTERNET: fuat@columbia.edu U.S. MAIL: Columbia University BITNET: fuat@cunixc.cc.columbia.edu Center for Computing Activities USENET: ...!rutgers!columbia!cunixc!fuat 712 Watson Labs, 612 W115th St. PHONE: (212) 854-5128 New York, NY 10025

Our Sun-4/280 running 4.0 is also crashing with "panic: diskquota", but it happens at least once per day when quotas are enabled. With quotas disabled, it crashes about once per week with "panic: vn_rele". We reported the problem to Sun SEVERAL weeks ago, but have not received any satisfactory results (surprise, surprise :-| ). They seem to think it might be a hardware problem.

This is unrelated to the panics. "mount" doesn't turn quotas on; "quotaon" does. "mount" is just a bit confused; the complaint doesn't really mean anything.
