Re: quotas: failure on removing a file via SFTP/SSH

[ST <smntov@gmail.com>]

I am on Debian 9 (stable), so kernel version is:
uname -r
4.9.0-4-amd64

btrfs-tools (4.7.3-1)

It might be related to the bug you have referred to (since once I hit
the quota limit I tried then to add some small files to check whether
quota works). However my main problem is - why I can't REMOVE files?! I
get error while I try to free space!

In my real use case I'll have quota limit of minimum 100G, is it
possible that the issue is caused by the small 1M (test) limit and will
not appear in real use case?

Thank you!
