Hi Folks! the 'system hangs on quota off' issue, observed on ext3 (and maybe other filesystems) could be tracked down, with your help, and an intermediate fix is available at: http://vserver.13thfloor.at/Stuff/patch-q0.12-hang-fix.diff
rationale: files opened before a quota hash is assigned and held open during that assignment, will cause the 'BAD INODE' debug message, which I originally considered an unlikely (broken) path, but actually turned out to be 'normal' for those corner cases, results in a hash reference without assigning a hash to that inode, which in turn, on quotaoff, leads to an imbalance regarding the references, leaving the quota hash waiting for an inode, which will never release the reference ... this will be included in a slightly revised version of the quota patch, as soon as 2.4.25 is released (at least I plan to do so ;) best, Herbert _______________________________________________ Vserver mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver
