Here is something else I did that might be usefull;
While the sync command died while wait_on_dqu... I did a quotaoff -a
Here is ps lwa | grep D
FLAGS UID PID PPID PRI NI SIZE RSS WCHAN STA TTY TIME COMMAND 0 0 2325 821 0 0 1020 324 wait_on_dqu D ? 0:00 sync 100 0 2347 2329 0 0 1040 388 wait_on_sup D ? 0:00 quotaoff -a
So turning off quota again, and let see.
