Is the quota system known to be broken? We've tried using it and to say it's unreliable is an understatement. For example, I have several users who are completely unrestrained by quota, despite being set up identically to others where it does work. All the commands, such as repquota, report they *have* a quota, but they can just keep on writing. On others, I can set quotas all I want, the system won't recognize them. And in other accounts, quota reports usages completely wrong, e.g. Disk quotas for user skunk (uid 1045): Filesystem blocks quota limit grace files quota limit grace /usr 127264* 40960 51200 none 325 0 0 /var 2 1024 10240 2 0 0 In reality, this user has over 150 megs in /var and only 35 megs in /usr. Despite being marked as over and no grace left, he can still write in /usr. We're running 2.2.2.
