[BlueOnyx:27085] Quota oddity, BlueOnyx 5210R

[Andy Vawer]

Hi folks

We have been having disk quota nightmares today for some unknown reason. 
It has been fine up until now.

The UI display under Usage information -> Disk for a site just shows the
suggested disk usage for the logs and does not list any of the individual
users - the table is empty.  For the affected sites (only 2 out of 100 or
so), any attempt to create files (eg mail) is rejected with a disk quota
full error message.

However, counting the file disk space used suggests all is within quota
allocation.  xfs_quota also confirms that the users affected are not using
too much disk space and neither are their sites/groups.

This lunchtime, a set of
/usr/sausalito/sbin/disk_restorequotas.pl
/usr/sbin/swatch

helped and sorted the problem.

This evening, the problem is back and doing the same had no luck - still
no file creation.

The only way round it for now has been to forcibly disable XFS quota
management.  Not ideal, but at least the server works again.

Does anybody have any thoughts?

Many thanks

Andy
