Dave,

Thanks for your reply.  Let me address your questions and replies.

Stracing shows that the group and user ID's are not being squashed and
they are resolving each time to their respective UID/GID's.

Busted.  I figured before sending the usual gamut of console "action",
I'd "save" time by simply presenting the symptoms.

You're correct (but you already knew this!).  I can tell you that
running the quota report does show the group block count changing.

It looks like this "issue" is  my misunderstanding of how XFS is
checking the quota.  Perhaps you could shed some light?

When you're using active user and group quotas on the same file system
and the user quota is lower than the group quota, does XFS first check
against the user quota and then the group quota?  Is the order of
operations user, group, and then project or does it depend on the
mounting order of quotas?

In the case I presented yesterday, the user in question had a quota of
25 GB, but the group had an unlimited quota.  Each time that I used
sudo -u user -g group or logged into the user's account, the quota was
always exceeded.  Now that I have removed the user's quota, the group
quota is now being respected properly.

Again, thank you!

John DeSantis
