Add:

check_quotas="YES"

to your /etc/rc.conf file, then reboot.  Your machine should take a few
more minutes to reboot, but should result in an exact fixing of all user
quota.

If that doesn't solve your issue, then quite likely your user really is
using more than they should, but in places you're not expecting them to
place their files.  Try:

find /usr -user <username>

and make sure that you account for each and every file produced by that
list.  If you find files in places you weren't expecting them, then you
have your answer.

Subject: Quota Reporting Errors

Hello Everyone,

We seem to be having a strange quota problem on one
of our web hosting servers. Quota is reporting
that a user is over their quota on /usr but they
most certantly are not.

It appears as if the quota file itself for our
/usr partition has gotten corrupted somehow.

If it is removed and then regenerated quota then
reports usage correctly.

The only problem with that is that we'd need to
restore
quotas for hundreds of users which is no easy task.

Has anyone run into this problem? bug? Are there any
simple fixes?

TIA

Holt
