Fixed In Version: quota-3.12-8.el4
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Attempting to run the "quota" command on a machine with more than 256 mounted file systems (for example, on machines with a large number of NFS mount points) resulted in the following error message: quota: Too many mountpoints with quota. With this update, this limit has been removed, and the "quota" behavior is no longer affected by the number of mounted file systems.
