[UPGRADE] quota 3.15-4 - 3.15-5 I have root filesystem with quotas on ext3. This file system does not seem to support disabling quota on the fly, so I think this check should I don't understand this. /etc/init.d/quota stop does not work for you? Now it works, I have no idea why it did not work. Forget the part about not being able to disable quota, I tried to remount file system without quota what does not work, quotaoff of course works. not be done at all on upgrade. Now this is where the problem starts. It is not done on upgrade. I'd guess that almost everyone using quota upgrades the package with quota enabled and it always worked afaict. If you have a look at the postinst file you'll see that quotacheck is only started if you're not doing a clean upgrade. So I really need more infos. Just ask what you need. All I did was upgrade from unstable about about one week old. Sorry about confusion with disabling quota, I thought it should be done using remounting. -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com | http://blog.cihar.com signature.asc Description: PGP signature

So, it appears that something in the postinst is turning on the quotas prior to starting them with the init script? Following the above, I tried running dpkg --configure again, and it fails every time, whether or not I stop quota beforehand. Regards, Roger -- .''`.

Bug#458309: Can not upgrade quota on running system
severity 458309 grave tag 458309 -moreinfo thanks. Just making sure quota won't migrate to testing with this bug. So, it appears that something in the postinst is turning on the quotas prior to starting them with the init script? Following the above, I tried running dpkg --configure again, and it fails every time, whether or not I stop quota beforehand. That's it, thanks. Due to the help of debhelper it is indeed started twice. Will fix it as soon as I find time.
