Project quotas are not a user/group based quota and so there is no exemption for any user. > [root@localhost project_quota_test1]# xfs_quota -c df > Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Pathname > /dev/sdb 83845120 157980 83687140 0% /xfs_local > /dev/sdb 102400 124928 9223372036854753280 122% /xfs_local/project_quota_test1 > [root@localhost project_quota_test1]# dd if=/dev/zero of=test100MB bs=1M count=100 > dd: error writing ‘test100MB’: No space left on device > 79+0 records in > 78+0 records out > 81788928 bytes (82 MB) copied, 0.163849 s, 499 MB/s > [root@localhost project_quota_test1]# xfs_quota -c df > Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Pathname > /dev/sdb 83845120 237748 83607372 0% /xfs_local > /dev/sdb 102400 204800 9223372036854673408 200% /xfs_local/project_quota_test1 It's gone negative.
