Well I "sometimes" do that, i.e. intentionally turning off quota on the running system, to force a recheck on boot. The mount options essentially are /bin/mount /dev/hda2 / -o ro,usrquota,grpquota and then /bin/mount / -o remount,rw No breakage so far, which is why I wondered. Is it limited to a specific kernel version? >I'm guessing you had quota enabled from earlier barrier-unaware kernels >and quotacheck only needs to be run during that initial mount.
