This is with respect to Ultrix-32 v2.2 on a VAX8600.
I am having problems in bringing quota into effect immediately, for a new user, who is assigned to a file system which already has "quotas on". I
assign the quota using "edquota username", but when i do "quota username"
I get "no quotas for this user". I find that when the system is rebooted
the quotas become effective. Can someone suggest a way of bringing it into
effect without a reboot? There should be some way, I am sure.
Thanks,

On our machine (8810, Ultrix 3.0) the quota mechanism just stops working every so often, sometimes every other day, sometimes every other week, it just seems to stop at arbitrary times. You can imagine the problems this causes... users go over their quotas while the quota enforcer is dead, and then when I realize it and turn it back on, they get nailed with no warning. Has anyone else had this problem? Thanks for any help... -Mike Marshall hubcap@clemson.edu

Yeah, I had a lot of problems with quotas under Ultrix 3.0 We had 4 diskless nodes off of a server, and with quotas enabled on the server, machines were dropping like flies. We sent crash dumps to dec (5 on one TK50 once), and never saw a result. Undefined Quotas in the server config file, rebuilt the kernel, and haven't had a speck of trouble since. I hope this is fixed in 3.1. Someday, DEC is going to release a version of Ultrix that's solid. 2.3 was getting there, then a big hassle to upgrade to 3.x. Now I hear that 4.0 is in the works... will it ever end? :-) -- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Jaye Mathisen,systems manager Internet: icsu6000@caesar.cs.montana.edu| | 410 Roberts Hall BITNET: icsu6000@mtsunix1.bitnet | | Dept. of Computer Science UUCP: utah-gr!mts-cs!icsu6000 |

I have 3 MicroVaxs running Ultrix 3.0. I have a large disk of users files which is mounted from a system that people don't log on to very often. I need a quota check program that will work on remotely mounted file systems. The quota checking program that comes with Ultrix does not appear to handle file systems remotely mounted over the network. Does anyone have a quota program that will work with nfs?
