With '/bin/ls' it does not change at all, so I took a bigger binary which yields to: homes:/home/ 8203780 9072000 9174400 403688 500000 550000 0 .

I rebooted once, got a recovery and then the quotas were ok again (and supposedly the used blocks as well). I assume a unmount/mount would show the same behaviour but requires a bit of preparation to try out. > Was there an earlier server version that didn't exhibit this problem?
