Hi,
I've the following problem on our vax. We use the diskquota utility to restrict
the use of disk space for different departments on our RA81 disk (VAX 780).
When we do a dir/by_owner/size/total for a group the quota found is always
smaller than the one indicated by sh quota.
We also found the following strange thing : when the users of a certain group
do a dir/size/by_owner the also find files in directories that are of
a different group. When I do the same command dir/size/by_owner=[ ] as
system user I don't get those files.
We deleted one of these strange behaving files and found that the quota of
both groups (the one whose directory it is and the one that shouldn't own the
file) mounts.
A few months ago we had a small disk crash. One of the heads of the disk wrote
beside its track and created a lot of parity errors in about 200 files. We
made an image backup of the file (it ignored all the bad files and put them
on the last tape of the backup), DEC replaced our disk and we placed the backup
back on the new disk (without the bad files).
Is it possible the crash is responsible for this strange behaviour and can it
be solved ? Maybe with the rebuild option of diskquota ?
Thanks
