You may reopen this bug report if the solution does not work for you. http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2003-187.html RH7.1 had been working fine with my hosting server but when I applied the latest kernel v2.4.23 I had experienced the same problem as to what is indicated in this thread. Is there any fix for this one. I hope that there would be as for the vurnerabilities released with 2.4 kernels with the do_break() then it might compromise our hosting server. Thank you. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021003 Description of problem: quota-3.03-1 doesn't initialize after applying the latest kernel update, that is 2.4.20-13.7. The error messages and problems were already described in recent similar bug reports about RH7.3, where upgrading to quota 3.0.6 from RH8 or newer helps. The problem is that in RH 7.2 upgrading is not possible due to failed dependencies because new versions of quota require glibc 2.3 I tried to install the more recent quota (3.06 and newer) from RedHat rpm's, but it complained about the version of GLIBC (2.3 was required to satisfy dependencies, whereas RH 7.2 has 2.2). Building packages from srpms ended up with compile errors identical to those that appeared when I tried to compile the sources (3.06 and 3.08): cc -o quotacheck quotacheck.o quotacheck_v1.o quotacheck_v2.o quotaops.o bylabel.o common.o quotasys.o pot.o quotaio.o quotaio_v1.o quotaio_v2.o quotaio_rpc.o quotaio_xfs.o quotaio_generic.o rquota_xdr.o rquota_client.o rquota_clnt.o -lext2fs -lcom_err quotaio_v1.o: In function `v1_check_file': /usr/include/sys/stat.h:364: undefined reference to `_fxstat64' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [quotacheck] Error 1 It seems, the new update of quota from RedHat is necessary for RH 7.2 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): quota-3.03-1 with kernel 2.4.20-13.7 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Apply the latest kernel update, that is 2.4.20-13.7 2.Reboot the system 3.Note the error messages about initializing quotas Actual Results: The error messages about initializing quotas during the boot process appeared and quota didn't work Additional info: When quota stops working on a system, like mine, with several hundred users, melicious of unwise people can full up the disks very fast - and this i a secirity issue.
