Upgrade Mandrake 7.1 to RH 7.2 - Trouble initializing during quota check

Upgrade Mandrake 7.1 to RH 7.2 - Trouble initializing during quota check

Post by Bill Ada » Sun, 08 Sep 2002 05:07:37



After a seemingly flawless install/upgrade, I'm booting for the first
time. I get to the local filesystems portion of the boot and I get the
following:

Mounting local filesystems: mount: fs type supermount not supported by
kernel  [FAILED]
Checking local filesystem quotas:       [  OK  ]

....and then it hangs!   What's wrong??

I went to single user mode and looked at the /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit
file. The portion in question looks like this:

# Mount all other filesystems (except for NFS and /proc, which is
already
# mounted). Contrary to standard usage,
# filesystems are NOT unmounted in single user mode.
action $"Mounting local filesystems: " mount -a -t nonfs,smbfs,ncpfs
-O no_netdev

# check remaining quotas other than root
if [ X"$_RUN_QUOTACHECK" = X1 -a -x /sbin/quotacheck ]; then
        if [ -x /sbin/convertquota ]; then
            # try to convert old quotas
            for mountpt in `cat /etc/mtab | awk '$4 ~ /quota/{print
$2}'`; do
                if [ -f "$mountpt/quota.user" ]; then
                    action $"Converting old user quota files: " \
                    /sbin/convertquota -u $mountpt && \
                        rm -f $mountpt/quota.user
                fi
                if [ -f "$mountpt/quota.group" ]; then
                    action $"Converting old group quota files: " \
                    /sbin/convertquota -g $mountpt && \
                        rm -f $mountpt/quota.group
                fi
            done
        fi
    action $"Checking local filesystem quotas: " /sbin/quotacheck
-aRnug
fi

if [ -x /sbin/quotaon ]; then
    action $"Enabling local filesystem quotas: " /sbin/quotaon -aug
fi

# Turn on process accounting
if [ -x /sbin/accton ] ; then
        action $"Turning on process accounting" /sbin/accton
/var/log/pacct
fi

Please help. Is the problem the old Mandrake kernel?

Thanks to all,

1. Quotas broken on RH 7.2 upgrade to RH Kernel 2.4.20-13.7

Folks,

We have RedHat 7.2 systems (SMP) and the most recent Kernel
Updgrade to 2.4.20-13.7 seems to have caused Quotas to break?
We had delayed the upgrade on a few systems and were able to
isolate it to the kernel upgrade causing the problem, the
system is:

quotaon: using /export/home/quota.user on /dev/sda5: Invalid argument
quotaon: using /export/home1/quota.user on /dev/sdb1: Invalid argument
quotaon: using /export/home2/quota.user on /dev/sdb3: Invalid argument

Have seen some other posting at RedHat's site, but so far
no solutions.  Does anyone have a fix?
