Quota Problem
Hi all!
I'm a user of Debian Etch. I've problem with my accoun't quota. After I removed all of my files from my home directory, and typed:

Code:
du -hs

It showed me:

Code:
76K     .

But when I used quota command, it showed me:

Code:
Disk quotas for user X (uid *********):
     Filesystem  blocks   quota   limit   grace   files   quota   limit   grace
somewhere.com:/home
                 478012  1200000 1400000              21       0       0

I don't why quota tells that I'm using about 466MB storage but in fact I've noe file!

I would guess that you've got files elsewhere still - or that the filesystem hasn't performed it's clean up yet.

You can check the former by running a huge find over the whole system:

Code:
find / -type f -user <you> 2> /dev/null

The latter can be checked by looking at the output from df -k on the filesystem your home dir is mounted on, has it reduced by the amount of stuff you deleted?

The file system available space changed during my file operations (i.e. copy & remove).
Also the result of find command shows me only /tmp files and /home files. Note that /tmp hasn't any quota!
