Hi All, There is some discrepancy between what quota reports and what du reports -bash-3.00$ cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 4.4 (Final) -bash-3.00$ pwd /home/corview -bash-3.00$ df . Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/vgroot-LogVol01 10095152 586932 8995404 7% /home -bash-3.00$ du -sh . 19M . -bash-3.00$ quota Disk quotas for user corview (uid 934): Filesystem blocks quota limit grace files quota limit grace /dev/mapper/vgroot-LogVol01 968480* 900000 1000000 none 268 0 0 As shown above du says only 19MB is occupied by user corview( No big files of corview are present in /tmp/ or /var/ ) But quota says 968480 out of 1000000 is used. -bash-3.00$ id uid=934(corview) gid=934(corview) groups=19(floppy),934(corview),935(admin) -bash-3.00$ grep 934 /etc/passwd corview:x:934:934::/home/corview:/bin/bash nbiperf:x:946:934::/home/nbiperf:/bin/bash nbibill:x:947:934::/home/nbibill:/bin/bash rilbill:x:948:934::/home/rilbill:/bin/bash So, no other user with id 934. and data in other users who are in corview group is also very small. lsof hasnt revealed any thing. How do I know which file(s) is(are) eatig so much.? I found a peculiar problem -bash-3.00$ pwd /home/corview -bash-3.00$ ls -l total 20 drwxrwxr-x 2 corview admin 4096 Nov 15 12:53 as -rw-r--r-- 1 corview corview 0 Feb 5 15:50 b drwxr-xr-x 6 corview corview 4096 Nov 14 22:49 log drwxr-xr-x 3 corview corview 4096 Nov 14 22:49 print drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Nov 14 22:48 replicatedfiles drwx------ 4 corview corview 4096 Nov 14 22:49 ricEMS -bash-3.00$ find . -uid 934 -exec ls -l "{}" ";"|nl 38 -rwx------ 1 corview corview 258959 Apr 27 2006 jta25b.jar 39 -rwx------ 1 corview corview 40 Feb 5 2007 Module.txt 40 -rwx------ 1 corview corview 164 Feb 5 2007 temp1.txt 41 -rwx------ 1 corview corview 249 Feb 6 2007 temp2.txt 42 -rwx------ 1 corview corview 93 Feb 6 2007 temp3.txt 43 -rwx------ 1 corview corview 249 Feb 6 2007 ./ricEMS/corView/resource/con fig/Profile/WorkingDirectory/temp2.txt 44 -rwx------ 1 corview corview 392 Feb 5 2007 ./ricEMS/corView/resource/con fig/Profile/WorkingDirectory/flt-http-deny-ruleid.txt 45 -rwx------ 1 corview corview 41 May 23 2007 ./ricEMS/corView/resource/conf ig/Profile/WorkingDirectory/BBGL_Enable.txt 46 -rwx------ 1 corview corview 26 May 23 2007 ./ricEMS/corView/resource/conf ig/Profile/WorkingDirectory/Adsl_Selt_Disconnect.txt 47 -rwx------ 1 corview corview 39 May 23 2007 ./ricEMS/corView/resource/conf ig/Profile/WorkingDirectory/Adsl_Selt_Connect.txt 48 -rwx------ 1 corview corview 40 Feb 5 2007 ./ricEMS/corView/resource/conf ig/Profile/WorkingDirectory/Module.txt 49 -rwx------ 1 corview corview 164 Feb 5 2007 ./ricEMS/corView/resource/con fig/Profile/WorkingDirectory/temp1.txt 50 -rwx------ 1 corview corview 258959 Apr 27 2006 ./ricEMS/corView/resource/ config/Profile/WorkingDirectory/jta25b.jar 51 -rwx------ 1 corview corview 245 Feb 5 2007 ./ricEMS/corView/resource/con fig/Profile/WorkingDirectory/flt-arp-rep-srcip-deny-ruleid.txt As we see some files show up twice in find. For e.g, jta25b.jar is shown in line 50 (actual place) and in line 38 (bogus) -bash-3.00$ pwd /home/corview -bash-3.00$ find . -name jta25b.jar ./ricEMS/corView/resource/config/Profile/WorkingDirectory/jta25b.jar -bash-3.00$ How is this?
