The quota -u command shows the correct quota limit for users, but is showing inaccurate block counts for some users that are over their limit. Here's an example: # quota -u XXXXX Disk quotas for user XXXXX (uid YYYYY): Filesystem blocks quota limit grace files quota limit grace /usr/www 12142* 0 7168 none 205 0 0 # du -sk /usr/www/web/XXXXX 5474 /usr/www/web/XXXXX Needless to say, the quota system is preventing these users from uploading files to their web site via FTP. I've already tried rebooting the machine with quotacheck on boot enabled twice now, the second time being just this morning. Judging by the times on the files, the quota.user and quota.group files weren't changed at all by the quotacheck, and the problem was not resolved. Can anyone shed some light on what's going on here, and how to resolve it? Thanks, David To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
