CentOS - May 2008 - GFS + quotas

I have 2 machines in a cluster using GFS, that many client mount up via
nfs.  We use quotas extensively here, is there a way from a client
machine to check a users quota?  Standard quota command on client
machines do not work like they do when checking a non-gfs nfs mounted
file system.  The quotas do work however, when a user exceeds quota and
tries to write a file, it tell them that quota has been exceeded.

Use gfs_quota command.

man gfs_quota

*gfs_quota* <list|sync|get|limit|warn|check|init> [*OPTION]*

gfs_quota command does NOT exist on clients that are mounting the
cluster via nfs.  on a standard nfs export from a linux ext3 file
system, when you run the quota command from a client, it makes an rpc
call to the nfs server, and the nfs server returns the quota on the
mounted file system...with gfs as the underlying file system, it doesn't
appear the quota values are passed to the exported nfs
