XFS + LVM + quota = disk quota exceeded

XFS + LVM + quota = disk quota exceeded

[Patryk Lason]

Hello,

I'm not able to touch a file on an XFS filesystem with quotas created on an LVM 
volume.
Even if I set limits to 10TB on 2TB device.

file quota maybe, not block quota; quota -i ?

Looks like I've found it.
I played with "-d" parameter for "limit" in xfs_quota.
I wanted to set default quota for users, but using the following
command:

limit -u bsoft=5g bhard=7g isoft=0 ihard=0 -d

the limit is set also for groups.
That's why I couldn't created any file.

I have xfsprogs-2.9.4.

Patryk
