May have fixed Quota issue

Had a wierd one today where an NFS (Linux) user kept exceeding his quota, except he hadn’t.
His usage never went above 4.3 Gig at any point and we enforce 5 Gig quotas on all user home directories.

The message he kept getting was ‘disk quota exceeded’ from NFS.

The only cure seemed to be to deactivate Quotas on the sharepoint in WGM, then activate them again.
But the problem came back after about 10 minutes.

Then I did some reading (after the swearing) about ‘edquota’. But I didn’t even get to use edquota. In the man page I saw something about the .quota* files that the quota system puts in the root directory of the volume in order to do its quota magic.

I turned off Quotas on the sharepoint in WGM. I went to the root of the volume in question: /Volumes/Users
– and there I saw that .quota.op.users still existed.
I moved it aside, in case I needed it again, then activated Quotas again.

So far, touch desk, it seems to have fixed the issue….
