## Incore Disk Quota Table Overflow

This error indicates that the fixed-length Irix kernel data structure used to maintain disk quota information (ndquot) has been exceeded. This parameter can be manually increased up to a maximum value of 6200.

An experienced System Administrator can increase ndquot as follows:

    # systune | grep ndquot
    ndquot = 806 (0x326)
    # systune -i
    systune-> ndquot 1600
    Do you really want to change ndquot to 900 (0x384)? (y/n)  y
    In order for the change in parameter ndquot to become effective,
    reboot the system
    systune-> ^D
    # reboot

This first searches for the current value of ndquot, which is set to 806 in this example. Then it is changed to 1600. A reboot is then necessary for the change to take place.

For more information about disk quotas and systune see Chapter 6 and Appendix A of Irix Admin: System Configuration and Operation. See man `quotas(4)` for more information about the implementation of disk quotas and man `systune` for information about the systune program.

If the problem persists, contact your System Administrator or your service provider.
