Comment 2.2 pre 4 and disk quotas (Score 1) 86

I have a RedHat 5.2 system that I had running 2.0.36 without any problems. It is a dual pentium pro system so I decided that it would be to my advantage to upgrade to 2.2 pre 4 for performance reasons. When I did so, things appeared to be working. However, it crashes everytime I use repquota to check user quotas.

I compiled quota support into my new 2.2 kernel and everything. However the crash is very dependent and it leaves the system running but nobody capable of logging in. Has anybody else had this problem? Has it been fixed some time between pre 4 and pre 6? Or might it be something that I am doing dreadfully wrong. I would have tried upgrading to 2.2 pre 6 except that I cannot afford to crash the computer because it is in a locked closet and a hassle for me to get in to reboot manually.

Please email me if you have any ideas.
Thanks!
