Because the quota command does mount point and project quota initialisation (i.e. global state) before it parses any specific command. > I only want to get the report of user quotas.

The issues project quota configuration is global information, and the initialisation code is not aware of the fact that: a) you are not asking for project quota information; and b) you are not asking for information about a mount point that doesn't have any project quotas on it. > > # xfs_quota -x -c "quota -N -u brian" > > This prints the quota information 20 times.

The command has once for each of the mount points, and the command itself iterates mount points because you haven't given it a mount point to look at. So, double iteration. This same problem was fixed for the report command by setting it to be a global command i.e. the fix I mentioned previously that you tested should prevent this second case, and maybe even the first. There are several layers of interactions here, and that's why I need to have a think about it to understand it fully and fix it....
