[mod.computers.vax] disk quota bug

SYSMGR%UK.AC.KCL.PH.IPG@AC.UK (09/20/86)

Since disk quota seems ro be the flavour of the month...

Since VMS V4 I have regularly received complaints that the quota information
bore no relation to the 'true' file usage as determined by DIRECTORY. Having
established (by using DISKQUOTA REBUILD) that this wasn't the result of a
user losing files, I have 'fixed' this problem by telling our equivalent of
NANNY to do a REBUILD at 6am every morning.

Has anyone else had this problem? Is a real fix coming?

One bug i discovered is that "SET FILE/OWNER" does not update quota 
information for the previous owner of the file. The blocks-used
count will be 1 to big.
