There are settings which allow you to bound the error in time and space, with the tradeoff being that the more accurate the quotas, the greater the overhead of the quota management system. That said, the number of blocks should be correct given a sync of the quota data on the node in question, in any case. Did you sync the quota data before examining the quota file? > The I tried then the quota-tools 4.00 (from source) and get: > > root@minnie:/var/tmp/quota-4/quota-tools# ./quotacheck -v -c > -u /home/csamba/desktop/ > > quotacheck: Scanning /dev/dm-10 [/home/csamba/desktop] done > > quotacheck: Cannot stat old user quota file on: No such file or > directory.

You can't turn quotas on and off using the quota tools, but only by using the mount arguments (and mount -o remount). I don't think that should be required in order to run quotacheck, but Abhi can probably confirm whether that is the case or not, Steve. > Kernel won't know about changes quotacheck did. > > thanks, > > -- > > Ali > -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
