When quota's are enabled (and checked) and one (or more) user(s) have more than 4GB of data, the counter overflows and becomes 0 again. This problem has already been solved, see https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=118136&aid=813160&group_id=18136 However, since it will only be incoorporated in 2.4.23+ and 2.6.0+ and the gentoo sources are still at 2.4.22, you might add this patch to the gentoo-sources (see additional info) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. enable quotas on a file system 2. give a user more than 4GB of files 3. run quotacheck Actual Results: 4. run repquota 5. see that the counter has overflown Expected Results: given the right (kilo)byte count This is the patch I recieved officialy form the quota-developer: -----SNIP----- --- linux/fs/quota_v1.c Tue Oct 7 12:44:00 2003 +++ linux/fs/quota_v1.c Tue Oct 7 12:44:16 2003 @@ -21,7 +21,7 @@ m->dqb_curinodes = d->dqb_curinodes; m->dqb_bhardlimit = d->dqb_bhardlimit; m->dqb_bsoftlimit = d->dqb_bsoftlimit; - m->dqb_curspace = d->dqb_curblocks << QUOTABLOCK_BITS; + m->dqb_curspace = ((qsize_t)d->dqb_curblocks) << QUOTABLOCK_BITS; m->dqb_itime = d->dqb_itime; m->dqb_btime = d->dqb_btime;
