Hi, Currently /etc/init.d/quota runs at position 20 in runlevel 2 (default installation) and this tends to take a very long time to run at bootup on one particular server, and because a lot of the other services tend to startup afterwards, either for alphabetic reasons within position 20, or they are in a higher position, this particular Linux box is pretty much inaccessible and useless whilst checking it's quotas.
Is there any harm in making the quota checking process further down the line, after the likes of sendmail and apache have started, or does it run at this position for a particular reason (i.e. it's better not to be modifying the filesystem whilst it's running?).
