Hi, on FreeBSD 8.0 (i386 or AMD64) if we configure to use quotas on root
partition.
It stops on boot with the following message:
Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a
mount option <userquota> is unknown
mount option <groupquota> is unknown
ROOT MOUNT ERROR: mount option <groupquota> is unknown
If you have invalid mount options, reboot, and first try the following from
the loader prompt:
     set vfs.root.mountfrom.options=rw
and then remove invalid mount options from /etc/fstab.
Loader variables:
vfs.root.mountfrom=ufs:/dev/ad0s1a
vfs.root.mountfrom.options=rw,userquota,groupquota,acls
Manual root filesystem specification:
  <fstype>:<device>  Mount <device> using filesystem <fstype>
                       eg. ufs:/dev/da0s1a
                       eg. cd9660:/dev/acd0
                       This is equivalent to: mount -t cd9660 /dev/acd0 /
  ?                  List valid disk boot devices
  <empty line>       Abort manual input
mountroot>
If i do:
ufs:/dev/ad0s1a
Then the boot continues and it mount the quotas ok. but if I reboot the same
thing happen again.
This only occurs on FreeBSD 8.
Does anyone have a clue about the problem ?
Best Regards
