Hello,
After Digital finally came up with a workaround for my patch kit #5
install problem (BTW: thanks a lot for their support), I've managed to
install the patch kit on both of my alphas.
There are two peculiar things, though and I just want to know if I'm
the only one who sees these and if I should worry about it:
1.) I get lots and lots of messages in the logs and on the console like
this:
Oct 24 18:39:12 xxx vmunix: chk_bf_quota: user quota underflow for
user 269 on fileset /
Oct 24 18:39:12 xxx vmunix: chk_bf_quota: group quota underflow for
group 7 on fileset /
Oct 24 18:39:30 xxx vmunix: chk_bf_quota: user quota underflow for
user 269 on fileset /
Oct 24 18:39:59 xxx vmunix: chk_bf_quota: user quota underflow for
user 269 on fileset /
Oct 24 19:23:49 xxx vmunix: chk_bf_quota: user quota underflow for
user 269 on fileset /
These "chk_bf_quota" messages appeared before as well but only once
or twice a day and I know that they are harmless. But now I get about
20-30 per day? Is this normal? Does anyone see this as well?
2.) During bootstrap right after the kernel has been loaded, I get
a message like this:
sysconfigtab: xxxxxxxxx too big xxxxxx 32543 bytes
or something. The reason why I can't specify the message more
clearly is, that it only appears at the console. There is *no*
log file entry with such a message. Not even in UERF.
And I can't boot the machine more often in order to see the
message better because I can't afford the downtime.
Does anyone else see this?
BTW: I have lots of EISA options etc. in my /etc/sysconfigtab which
I don't need for sure because this is a PCI bus machine. I just did
not care about them until now. Are these entries necessary? Can they
cause this message?
Thanks everybody for any insight and for any hints.
Tom
