> We're running Cyrus IMAPD 2.3.9 on RedHat Enterprise Server 5 (kernel > 2.6.18-8.1.10), on an HP ProLiant DL385 G2, a four-core 64-bit machine. I had some quota problems several times on different systems but I have never been able to really found out where it came from. At least once there was a problem with a certain cyrus version which left some quota corrupt. But that has been corrected long ago. IIRC there was a problem that I couldn't reconstruct first because it took too much time on almost 1TB mailspool but running quota -f didn't even fix quota and I had to remove the quota files temporarily so people could receive mail. I really don't recall exactly but what you tell me is not new...
