I just discovered a bug in /sbin/installupdate on 5.0 that shows up when
upgrading from 5.0 to 5.0A. The script searches through your /etc/fstab file to
make sure /usr is not mounted read-only. It does this by running grep on the
options for the mount of /usr looking for "ro". However, if you followed the
instructions from "sys_check" and added "userquota,groupquota" to your mount
options for /usr, grep sees the "ro" in "groupquota", and thus installupdate
claims you have /usr set for a read-only mount in /etc/fstab.
The fix is to remove "groupquota" from the mount options for /usr in /etc/fstab
before running installupdate.
