Is the quota system known to be broken? We've tried using it and to say
it's unreliable is an understatement. For example, I have several users
who are completely unrestrained by quota, despite being set up identically
to others where it does work. All the commands, such as repquota, report
they *have* a quota, but they can just keep on writing. On others, I can
set quotas all I want, the system won't recognize them. And in other
accounts, quota reports usages completely wrong, e.g.
Disk quotas for user skunk (uid 1045):
Filesystem blocks quota limit grace files quota limit grace
/usr 127264* 40960 51200 none 325 0 0
/var 2 1024 10240 2 0 0
In reality, this user has over 150 megs in /var and only 35 megs in /usr.
Despite being marked as over and no grace left, he can still write in
/usr.
We're running 2.2.2.
