Hi,
I have set up a new server with Ubuntu 10.4 64-bit. Duringsetup I have modified the fstab file to enable user quota. But after the second restart, the system won't boot anymore. It worked directly after the change and quota was checked when the quota/quotatool package was installed then, but it won't boot anymore now. The last thing I see on the console is that it's checking quota. But I've seen the box freeze at other messages as well. Currently I can reliably have it freeze when quota shall be enabled.
The only way to boot the system is removing the usrquota mount option from the fstab file.
I have tried to run quotacheck manually from the provider's rescue system, mounting the filesystem with the appropriate options. That worked without any problem. It was finished after a few seconds. But at boot time the message stands there for more than minutes.
I've also read the notice about "journalquota", tried to find any information about it and the only bit of info about it was on this forum, along with some mount options. I also tried that but it changed nothing.
So what's up here? I've tested the setup at home (but with 32-bit Ubuntu and no RAID 1) and I could always boot the machine with no problems at all. In production environment it fails. Is quota not supported very well on 64 bit?
