That required changes to the on-disk data structures. Once you change to 1278 and turn quotas on for a filesystem, the original 6.2 miniroot won't be able to mount that filesystem. The sa supplied in patch 1278 will. Keep it around on tape, CD-ROM or accessible via the network so that if you need to boot a miniroot, you'll be able to. Oh, and 1278 has been superseded. You should be running 1396 on a Challenge DM/L/XL (or 1566 if you want quotas), 1566 on an Indigo/Indigo2 and I'm not quite sure what for the Indys. I'm running 1566 :-). Ray Chen rcc@sgi.com
