I did a 'quota -u netaniche' and got the following display below, Disk quotas for user netaniche (uid 1023): Filesystem blocks quota limit grace files quota limit grace /usr 2442 0 55296 451 0 0 Additonally, I did a 'du /home/netaniche' and got the following display below on the last line, 4661 /home/netaniche Doesn't the display in KB from 'du' sounds a little misleading? If 'quota' says that the user has already used 2442 blocks (1221KB if each block is 512K), why will 'du' says that the size of the directory /home/netaniche is 4661KB? Thank you.
