Just wondering if a custom kernel with options QUOTA is still needed in FreeBSD 9. I have no test server available right now to test this. According to the handbook it is needed, but I found in a post from 2011 that it would be entered into GENERIC, so the handbook statement might be old? My reason for asking is that I'm about to convert from source build to freebsd-update in all servers, so I would like to revert to GENERIC wherever possible. (If it is still needed, are there any plans for removing this need?) Thanks! -- Peter Olsson pol at leissner.se

Does quota still require a custom kernel in FreeBSD 9?

I doubt that there is a release where the option is turned on, i.e. 9.1 kernels most likely do not have QUOTA. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
