I'm running 2.4.1 (had been using 2.4.0 since it was released) with quota
2.00 on an ext2 filesystem mounted as /home.
When a file is created or deleted from the file system the quota usage is
not updated. If I run a "quotacheck -a" everything gets updated, but
quickly after as mail is delivered

I would guess that syslog is okay. I'm getting plenty of entries in my

So no kerberos.

Perhaps the help text for disk quotas needs to be updated, or at least the
howto for quotas.
The help text for disk quotas says to see the Quota mini-HOWTO. The howto
says to get the quota source from:

That doesn't exist any

I just tried to build 2.4.0-test8 on a machine where I don't use modules
at all, and thus have them disabled in the config. The kernel compile
just about finishes, but scsidrv.o contains "scsi_register_module" and
"scsi_unregister_module", so the link fails.

What about those of us who don't have modules enabled. "make
modules_install" complains.
I'm still like the idea of /lib/kernel or /lib/linux. Keep /lib/modules
for modules. Or on my machines I won't even have to create /lib/modules.
