Hi, I have a Sun Fire V100 running Solaris 9 with the current recommended
patches installed.  When I log in, I get a delay and I have determined that
/usr/sbin/quota is the culprit.  Other descriptions in this newsgroup of the
same problem indicate that remote NFS mounts are the cause of this, but this
machine is not doing anything like that.  Here is my /etc/vfstab:

#device         device          mount           FS      fsck    mount   mount
#to mount       to fsck         point           type    pass    at boot options
#
fd      -       /dev/fd fd      -       no      -
/proc   -       /proc   proc    -       no      -
/dev/dsk/c0t2d0s1       -       -       swap    -       no      -
/dev/dsk/c0t2d0s0       /dev/rdsk/c0t2d0s0      /       ufs     1       no      -
/dev/dsk/c0t2d0s3       /dev/rdsk/c0t2d0s3      /usr    ufs     1       no      -
/dev/dsk/c0t2d0s4       /dev/rdsk/c0t2d0s4      /var    ufs     1       no      -
/dev/dsk/c0t2d0s7       /dev/rdsk/c0t2d0s7      /export/home    ufs     2       yes     -
/dev/dsk/c0t2d0s5       /dev/rdsk/c0t2d0s5      /opt    ufs     2       yes     -
swap    -       /tmp    tmpfs   -       yes     -

and here is /etc/mnttab:

/dev/dsk/c0t2d0s0       /       ufs     rw,intr,largefiles,xattr,onerror=panic,suid,dev=2200000 1108579338

Is the /vol thing the cause of the problem?  I realize I could just comment
out the call to quota in the /etc/.login file but I would like to get to the
bottom of this.  Thanks...

Maybe.

On the solaris 8 system that I checked, the corresponding line
is

ux:vold(pid334) /vol    nfs     ignore,noquota,dev=4300001      1105127582

Note that it turns off quota checking for /vol

Offhand I don't know whether there is a way of configuring that.  It
looks like change between solaris 8 to solaris 9.

   I think it's a Solaris 8 versus 9 thing too.  I have a box still running
Solaris 8 and it has the noquota also.  But none of my other Solaris 9
machines (at least none of the ones I checked) have this, but only this one
machine is having the problem.  Wierd.
