I am trying to setup quotas on a Decstation 5000/200 running Ultrix 4.2A.

To this end, I try on a new, mounted, but unused filesystem

quotacheck -f -v /filespace
*** Check quotas for /dev/rrz2d
root       fixed: inodes (old 0, new 3) blocks (old 0, new 20)
root       fixed: inodes (old 3, new 0) blocks (old 20, new 0)

After a short sound of disk action, the system produces the above 3 lines
of output, and then sits indefinitely with quotacheck taking up as much
system CPU time as it can get, and no outwardly visible signs of 
anything else happening.

The kernal configuration file has the option QUOTA in it.

Any help regarding what is happening would be appreciated. Thank you.
