Quota Errors at the Console or in /var/log/messages
Sometimes you may get messages such as:
Quota Error: kernel: VFS: Error -5 occured while creating quota.
in /var/log/messages.
This is typical if the quota isn't working right or is corrupted.
Perform these commands as root:
quotaoff -av
quotacheck -ugamn
quotaon -avug
If quotacheck segfaults or otherwise fails, you need to make sure quotas are off (quotaoff -a) and remove the quota files in / (for example, aquota.group and aquota.user) and then run quotacheck -ugamn again.
