The quota change looks like the right thing to do. However, why did you delete the /etc/rc.d/init.d/random start line at the end of your patch? The '/etc/rc.d/init.d/random start' at the end of /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit is redundant. There is a /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S??random symlink which sets up the random device, so the same thing in rc.sysinit means that the random device is initialized twice and can't be turned off if desired with the setup program. It doesn't have anything to do with quotas, it's just cleaning up. I probably should have submitted two separate bug reports. *** Bug 929 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** During system boot, rc.sysinit calls /sbin/quotaon BEFORE the root partition has been remounted read-write. This causes quotas to never be enabled, until the partition gets fsck'ed one day -- at which point, it is mounted RW by the time quotaon gets called. Simply moving lines 69-72 below line 96 (initscripts-3.78-1) would resolve the issue, I think. Fixed in initscripts 3.83. |
