Hello sys admins,
I understand from reading the archives that one can use
the command "quotacheck -guv file_system_name" in a startup file
to "straighten out" quotas at each bootup.
But what I would like to know is why the df command "suddenly"
started producing invalid output on my system. I'm running
DU 4.0B with patch kit #4, AdvFS, and C2 security on an Alpha2100.
The df command seemed to be producing accurate output until
I made a couple of changes to /etc/fstab. Now, each time the
system is rebooted, the Capacity column of the df output shows
1% or 2% for each of the AdvFS filesystems when it should be 30%
to 50% depending on which filesystem. This is only corrected
when I run "quotacheck -guv" on each filesystem, which I must
now do after each bootup.
The few changes I made to my /etc/fstab file were ALL suggested
by the sys_check program: All I did was add userquota and
groupquota mount options to the AdvFS file systems that did not
already have them specified in /etc/fstab, and also I changed
all the sixth field (pass number) entries from 0 to 1,2,or 3
for each AdvFS entry. Please see the before/after versions
of my /etc/fstab file below. (It's only a 7-line file.)
Can anyone tell me what I did wrong and why df is suddenly
yielding invalid output? Thanks in advance. I'll summarize.
