quotaoff sometimes hangs on shutdown
Last modified: 2009-10-27 13:42:14 EDT
Description of Problem: When shutting the system down, the shutdown process sometimes gets stuck when running quotaoff. I'm still trying to figure out what triggers it, one thing that _might_ be related is having cd's mounted (with and without autofs), that's about the only "funny" thing with the things I have mounted, I'm not even using quotas. In any case, it's pretty random (and running quotaoff -a when the system is running always seems to work, at least now) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.01pre8 How Reproducible: shutdown, sometimes Actual Results: quotaoff gets stuck Expected Results: it doesn't get stuck
are you actually sure it _is_ quota that is hanging, and not the thing that comes right after it in the shutdown process? What comes right after it is some umount stuff for both loopback and local filesystems. The random hangup then might have something to do with a bad umount/autofs interaction?
Last time it happened I poked around with ctrl-scrolllock and quotaoff was still running. I'll add some debug echos in there just to be sure.
pp is this still an open issue? ie can I close this or is there more work to be done here? Cheers Phil =--=
Can't remember seeing the problem in the 7.2 release, so it's probably been fixed by either quota-3.01pre9 or some other package. Close it and if I see ever see it again I'll just reopen it.
Just clearing out old bugs, haven't seen this one in ages either...
