Problem with updation of 'quota'
Hi,

We have recently implemented 'quota' concept for the unix users.

softlimit - 230MB
hardlimit - 250MB

We have applied the quota when few of users are more than the hardlimit,issue is that even though the users cleared the space, still its 'quota' was not updating properly.
For some cases even the users with less than 200MB physically, still its showing more than that.

Let me give a sample example if i'm not clear wat i said

Quotas for user xxxx:
/home/work/worklvextd: blocks in use: 536448, limits (soft = 230400, hard = 281600)
inodes in use: 9558, limits (soft = 0, hard = 0)

Actual size used by user xxxx:
du -sm /home/work/worklvextd/xxxx
138.39 /home/work/worklvextd/xxxx


Some times when i do 'quotacheck <filesystem>', updation done but not every time Smilie

Please help in this regard, thanks in advance.

quota

QUOTA(1)						      General Commands Manual							  QUOTA(1)

NAME

       quota - display disk usage and limits

SYNOPSIS

       quota [ -F format-name ] [ -guvs | q ]
       quota [ -F format-name ] [ -uvs | q ] user
       quota [ -F format-name ] [ -gvs | q ] group

DESCRIPTION

       quota displays users' disk usage and limits.  By default only the user quotas are printed.

       quota reports the quotas of all the filesystems listed in /etc/mtab.  For filesystems that are NFS-mounted a call to the rpc.rquotad on the
       server machine is performed to get the information.

OPTIONS

       -F format-name
	      Show quota for specified format (ie. don't perform format autodetection).  Possible format names	are:  vfsold  (version	1  quota),
	      vfsv0 (version 2 quota), rpc (quota over NFS), xfs (quota on XFS filesystem)

       -g     Print group quotas for the group of which the user is a member.  The optional

       -u     flag is equivalent to the default.

       -v     will display quotas on filesystems where no storage is allocated.

       -s     flag will make quota(1) try to choose units for showing limits, used space and used inodes.

       -q     Print a more terse message, containing only information on filesystems where usage is over quota.

       Specifying both -g and -u displays both the user quotas and the group quotas (for the user).

       Only  the super-user may use the -u flag and the optional user argument to view the limits of other users.  Non-super-users can use the the
       -g flag and optional group argument to view only the limits of groups of which they are members.

       The -q flag takes precedence over the -v flag.

DIAGNOSTICS

       If quota exits with a non-zero status, one or more filesystems are over quota.

FILES

       aquota.user  or	aquota.group
			   quota file at the filesystem root (version 2 quota, non-XFS filesystems)
       quota.user  or  quota.group
			   quota file at the filesystem root (version 1 quota, non-XFS filesystems)
       /etc/mtab	   default filesystems
