Hi, I just populated our F720 but noticed that I forgot some "quota off -- quota on" command sequence in order to enable the last modification i did on quotas...
... I'm still waiting for the output of the "quota on" command as since then the filer is cyclicly trying to dump core (see screenshot at the end of this message) :
After each boot the filer notices that the "quota on" command was interrupted by a reboot, it tries to initialize the quotas and then ... reboot
Does someone on this list know how to break this cycle ? Either by modifying the quota file (throught the floppy boot menu) or by forcing a reboot *without* quota initialization ?
Thanks, Jean-Marie

Boot via floppy, remove the /etc/quotas file. I'm 99% sure that quota initialization will abort with a warning if it's not there.

Hi David, thanks very much for your answer ! Do you know if (and how) I can delete a file from the filer command line ? Or Should i recreate the whole conf in order to access the file through nfs ?

rc_toggle_basic (get the command line with a *)
spithead*> help rm remove files
so 'rm /etc/quotas' should do the trick.

Thanks to the list ...
I received many answers : one solution is to reboot the netapp with floppy, at the menu choose "boot without /etc/rc" then delete the offending quotas file. In my case the error came from an unknown user being assigned a quota.
But ... this problem is already known by netapp which kindly created some time ago a new release of data ontap ( bug number 26472 corrected by 5.3.6R2). I'll wait for my NOW account ...
The filer is now up and waiting for my next error :)
thanks one more time, Jean-Marie
