Hello, I backported the MP-Safe quotas patch for RELENG_6. Besides what the title said, it includes several fixes for quotas operation. I would commit the patch based on the users feedback, assuming the re@ would not object. Please, test it. http://people.freebsd.org/~kib/quotagiant/quotas-RELENG_6-20070623-1455.patch Draft version of commit message: MFC: part of rev. 1.412 of sys/kern/vfs_syscalls.c: Remove explicit calls to lock and unlock Giant and replace them with VFS_LOCK_GIANT/VFS_UNLOCK_GIANT calls.
