Hi, 
What command can I use to check my filter's firmware version?
After install the system files to upgrade, it won't erase my data on the
filer, right?
Thanks
Perry Jiang

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

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

After the filter is up, everything is ok. However, I can't

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

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
