I've had this happen twice in the last week now, everything freezes up including ssh but the server is still responding to ping. Second time this happened it wouldnt reboot until a filecheck was done. Looking in the system messages, the last thing it recorded before freezing up was:

Dec 8 12:22:24 blue kernel: VFS: Inserting already present quota entry (block 19).
Dec 8 12:22:24 blue kernel: VFS: Error -5 occured while creating quota.

also just after a user makes a ftp connection there was this error:
Dec 8 12:05:13 blue kernel: VFS: Quota for id 582 referenced but not present.
Dec 8 12:05:13 blue kernel: VFS: Can't read quota structure for id 582.



Any ideas on how to fix this problem?

I ran quotacheck and the quota files were corrupt. I dont see those errors anymore, hopefully that was the cause of the problem?
