I have tried to kill repquota process but it is not getting killed.
This issue could be related to a read-only file system or file system corruption.
The following should help to determine if there is a read-only file-system
#touch testfile
If the "touch" command fails to create the files it should display an error, such as indicating there is a read-only file system.
You can reboot the server to resolve this.
If you are constantly facing repquota issue on server you can permanently disable the quotas
Run the command
quotaoff -a
Then remove the entry userquota from fstab, It will help you.
you can make changes in /etc/mtab and /etc/fstab for this.
Then mount it
#mount -a
