Hi,
we had the same problem, we had to run WAFL_check from the bootdisks to fix the inconsistency:
Boot from floppy, at the Prompt (1-5) enter WAFL_check (casesensitiv!) the filer will then prompt you which volume to check.
PS: Our Netapp case for this was [NetApp Log#133892].

Hi, Jeff I upgraded to 5.3.6R2. It didn't fix the problem. The filter still keep on panic on quota. What does the error message: "WAFL inconsistent" mean?
Thanks.

Floppy booting 5.3.6R2 and then downloading that release should solve the problem. Call customer service if you are having problems with the procedure. Once 5.3.6R2 is loaded you should have no problem turning quotas back on.

That doesn't fully answer the question. How does one deal with this problem *before* patching 5.3.6R2? Does one have to nuke the filer to get quota functional again?

Hi, I have a 740 filer with Data OnTAP 5.3.6 I put a quota entry for username "perry" into /vol/vol0/etc/quotas perry user 50M -
But there is no entry for "perry" in /vol/vol0/etc/passwd,
so there is no
UID for perry(No NIS running, of course). When I run "quota on vol0", the filer crashes.
I have to boot up the filer from floppy disk, remove the
entry of "perry" in
/vol/vol0/etc/quotas file, then reboot the filer.
After the filter is up, everything is ok. However, I can't
enable quota
anymore. Every time I run "quota on vol0", the filer would crash.
The only thing I have in /vol/vol0/etc/quotas now is couple
of entries for
Qtree quota.
Can anybody explain when the filer still crashes after I
remove the "perry"
entry? How can I make the quota work again? Do I have to rebuild the filer?
Thanks
