Where :could the difference be hiding? : :I reviewed the man pages for both "find" and "quota" and couldn't find :any clues to this. If it's not actually a bug with one of these :utilities, then I consider it a bug with their documentation since it's :given unexpected results. : These should match. Two things pop into my head as first possibilities. First, you have a race. find(1) and quota(1) are looking at the disk at different times. It's possible that the files got created in the time between find looking at a directory and when quota is run. Whether that's likely will depend on what the machine and the user are doing. If it's consistently like this, then maybe your quota file is corrupt. Are you running quotacheck(8) at startup? I believe the rc.conf flag for that is "check_quotas". If you can afford to take the machine down, run quotacheck and see it fixes the problem. David -- dscheidt@tumbolia.com Bipedalism is only a fad.
