In the same way that if you have user & group quotas active, a file in a user:group pair would count against user and group limits, I'm fairly certain that the same behavior applies to user & project quotas. I think what you're asking is whether a file in a project quota directory can avoid user quota accounting, and I'm pretty sure the answer is no. I think you'll be limited by the first quota limit that gets reached. The way around this would be to make /home/software/ a separate filesystem with only project quotas active. (Apologies for not digging into the code to be certain, but from what you've seen and from what I think I know, the above is my best guess.) -Eric
