I've recompiled kernel, this time making sure XFS quota is selected. When
the machine starts up it does say "XFS doing quotacheck.. Please wait." I
wait 5 minutes or so and then the machine freezes (by freezing I mean no
more hard drive activity and machine does not respond).
I booted into a single user mode. did a mount -a, got the "doing
quotacheck... Please wait." After awhile I get a funny error "Run out of
memory.. Cancelling processs (sh)" The error is not in exact words but
something like that.
The machine has 256MB memory with 658MB disk cache. The xfs filesystem is
a hardware raid with 8 disks totalling 350MB. Does anyone have experience
running xfs on large partitions?
