If quotas are currently enabled on the disk in question, you will get stale data. The quota mechanism caches the data in memory to keep from beating up the disks so much, and they only get written back every so often. To get quota information with quotas enabled, use the ACP interface described in the I/O books. I can send code, if you wish: we do this nightly to snapshot disk usage for billing. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Mark H.
