Allow me to proceed in order: mammuth:~# quota -u alonso Disk quotas for user alonso (uid 2220): Filesystem blocks quota limit grace files quota limit grace /dev/hda5 4021252* 10000 12000 2879 0 0 The quota is applied to the /dev/hda5 partition only, that includes /tmp directory. I've run the following command: find / -uid 2220 >quota.txt of course having a check on the user id (2220) in the /etc/passwd file. The file has reported that the user owns files only a few directories, and a du -hs on those directories gave to me a total amount of 8 MB, less than the 10 of quota roof. Furthermore, quota gives a 2879 files owned by the user, while executing cat quota.txt | wc -l gives a 1519 that is the about the half! I've tried with a quotacheck over the partition, but the situation remains the same. What can be? Any idea? Thanks, Luca -- Luca Ferrari, fluca1978@katamail.com
