Comment 1 Bug Zapper 2008-05-14 10:57:59 UTC
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA.
More information and reason for this action is here:

Comment 2 G.Wolfe Woodbury 2008-05-19 11:21:27 UTC
Yes, it is an F9 problem

I have moved it to a high severity as it keeps systems from rebooting cleanly.

Comment 3 Ondrej Vasik 2008-05-19 11:38:31 UTC
Could you please provide some additional informations? Are those quota mounts
local or remote(e.g. NFS)? How was the Fedora9(or F9-RC1) installed? On clean
system or by update from F8? Thanks in advance for those informations.

Comment 4 G.Wolfe Woodbury 2008-05-20 20:07:21 UTC
Clean install from local NFS mirror
Quotas are NOT enabled anywhere on the system

The system just hangs
The problems is specific to ix86  x86_64 works correctly

Workaround: yum erase quota
      to remove the quotaon command from the system

Comment 5 Denys Vlasenko 2008-11-14 11:24:23 UTC
Hi,

I experience the same thing. If I reboot my machine soon after I booted it, the last line I see is:

Turning off quotas:

and it sits there forever. Apparently, it is this line in /etc/rc.d/init.d/halt:

[ -x /sbin/quotaoff ] && action $"Turning off quotas: " /sbin/quotaoff -aug

Question: why do we bother to do it at shutdown AT ALL? Can we just remove this line? If not, why?

Comment 6 Denys Vlasenko 2008-11-14 11:26:13 UTC
Reopening.

Comment 7 Ondrej Vasik 2008-11-14 11:32:08 UTC
Reassigning to initscripts as the possible change should be there.

Comment 8 Denys Vlasenko 2008-11-14 13:54:01 UTC

strace of hung quotaoff

Comment 9 Bill Nottingham 2008-11-14 16:08:32 UTC
Is /mnt/mirror an nfs mount in your case?

Comment 10 Denys Vlasenko 2008-12-19 01:13:51 UTC
Yes.

I know that quotaoff is blocked on an I/O op in NFS mount which is just dead.

I don't see how that affects the question "why do we bother to do it at shutdown AT ALL? Can we just remove this line? If not, why?"

Comment 11 Bug Zapper 2009-06-10 00:42:59 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 9.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '9'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

Comment 12 Ondrej Vasik 2009-06-10 08:49:44 UTC
Or if we can't remove that line, we can probably use timeout utility from coreutils (recently added, available only in F-11/rawhide versions of coreutils). Running quotaoff -aug with 2-5s timeout could make everyone happy - as it should be enough to turn off quotas unless there is something really broken (like unreachable NFS mount).
