San file system are no different to any others as far as quotas go.Have you mounted the filesystem with quota's on?If you type mount and look for the filesystem in question, does it include quota in the options.If not, you need to add it in the vfstab.

hai

When i run mount command i see the following

/dev/dsk/c2t20030003BA13F96Ad10s0 read/write/nosuid/intr/largefiles/logging/quota/xattr/onerror=panic/dev=1d80018 on Wed Jun 21 14:19:01 2006

this is what i see in in vfstab

/dev/dsk/c2t20030003BA13F96Ad10s0/dev/rdsk/c2t20030003BA13F96Ad10s0/s21 ufs2yeslogging,rq,quota,nosuid

What does these thing says?

any fault in this?

For a user jack 11GB is quota but how can he use 27G, if i am correct.How the users are using more space then their alloted space?

I see when i run the following

quota -v jack

Disk quotas for jack (uid 10073):

Filesystem usage quota limittimeleft files quota limittimeleft

/d21011011

/h21 011011

/c21 011011

/f21 011011

/a21 011011

/s21 28332423 10485760 11534336 NOT STARTED374400

/y21 011011

/t21 011011

/l21 011011

We see the following for jack

edquota jack

fs /s21 blocks (soft = 10485760, hard = 11534336) inodes (soft = 0, hard = 0)

What is wrong in this?

Thank You

The settings all look ok.

Turning on quotas can't magically bring people to below their quota.

It doesnt delete files. It only stops them creating new ones.

So jack should be in the "no new files" state/

What happens if you su to jack and try to create a file in his home dir.

I have to admit I don't know what the "NOT STARTED" means.

Does a quotacheck -f /s21 report anything?
