[SOLVED] repquota reporting incorrect values?

Griever92 · 11-12-2012, 12:58 PM

Hi all,

I seem to be having an issue with my quota system, being that it is reporting incorrect values using the repquota command, as such, I can not accurately define user quotas. Seen below, reported space and file usage does not match what is seen with my own checks using 'du -sh' and 'ls -alR [target] | wc -l'

Code:

[grievesrv :: griever92 /home] sudo repquota -s /home
*** Report for user quotas on device /dev/md3
Block grace time: 7days; Inode grace time: 7days
                        Space limits                File limits
User             used    soft    hard  grace    used  soft  hard  grace
----------------------------------------------------------------------
griever92  --   1289G      0K      0K          13084     0     0
dcbrand    --  87693M      0K      0K          11397     0     0
awarwick   --   3740K      0K      0K             18     0     0
xnakashoji --     16K      0K      0K              4     0     0
freeleech  --   3260K      0K      0K            803     0     0

[grievesrv :: griever92 /home] du -sh /home/griever92/
1.4T    /home/griever92/
[grievesrv :: griever92 /home] ls -alR griever92/ | wc -l
28874

[grievesrv :: griever92 /home] du -sh /home/dcbrand/
86G     /home/dcbrand/
[grievesrv :: griever92 /home] ls -alR dcbrand/ | wc -l
15500

[grievesrv :: griever92 /home] du -sh /home/awarwick/
85G     /home/awarwick/
[grievesrv :: griever92 /home] ls -alR awarwick/ | wc -l
12986

[grievesrv :: griever92 /home] du -sh /home/xnakashoji/
16K     /home/xnakashoji/
[grievesrv :: griever92 /home] ls -alR xnakashoji/ | wc -l
7

[grievesrv :: griever92 /home] du -sh /home/freeleech/
85G     /home/freeleech/
[grievesrv :: griever92 /home] ls -alR freeleech/ | wc -l
12946

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find much in the way of a solution for this, so I was hoping someone here might have an idea or two.

Also, would anyone be aware of a way to exclude 'links' from being calculated in the quotas and disk usage?
As an example, user 'freeleech' is simply a file repository. Users awarwick, dcbrand and griever92 are members of the 'freeleech' group, and as such, have access to said repository.
These files, which are physically located within the freeleech home folder, are copied/linked to each of these users' home folders (cp -al [source] [target] )
Alternatively, if this is not possible, I could always point these users directly into the freeleech home directory, but i'd like to avoid that and isolate them to their own obviously.

[EDIT]
Well, now quotas are working properly, not sure what changed, but i'll take it.
