I have a FreeBSD 5.5-STABLE box that is setup with a gmirror RAID 1 using two identical harddrives. I installed quotas on the filesystem by enabling it 'options QUOTA' and rebuilding the kernel. I added userquota to the /etc/fstab for the /usr partition and I added 'enable_quotas=YES' and 'check_quotas=NO' to the /etc/rc.conf file thinking i can get it to build the quota table on the fly instead of it doing that at boot time. The system boots up but as soon as I do any disk access ie 'repquota -a' or write a file to the harddrive, the system hangs. I can still connect to the various services via telnet to their port, but none of them respond. Now that I've disabled quotas I am able to use the system however fsck has reported many various file corruptions and destroyed some of my important system files. Is there a known conflict between gmirror and a quota enabled filesystem? How can I properly set these up?

Also, is this a UP or SMP machine? Ulrich Spoerlein -- A: Yes.>Q: Are you sure? > >A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. > >>Q: Why is top posting frowned upon?
