HUGE quota.user file
-rw-r----- 1 root operator 137438953472 Jan 26 16:23 quota.user
/usr is only half a gig & root is even smaller, and they both have plenty free space, so I'm thinking the file must be corrupted. We don't use quotas, but I gather you can't just blatt this file with > quota.user and quotaoff / quotacheck don't have any effect.
The main problem is that the backups are taking forever. I could exclude the file from backups, but I'm worried about filesystem integrity.
Is there any way to fix the size of quota.user?

Sounds like you have a different problem regarding slow backups.

Re: HUGE quota.user file
You can't change this, short of removing the large UIDs/GIDs and changing ownership of any files belonging to them, and you can't remove the quota files. But it's really not a problem. The Tru64 backup utilities, and most third-party ones as well, handle the quota files properly. They either don't back them up at all, or back up them up as sparse files.

Re: HUGE quota.user file
As the size of the quota files doesn't indicate a problem, I'll just exclude them from the backups.
Thanks again.
