The quota usage maintained by QUOTA.SYS also includes the ammount allocated for each file header. This is typically 1 block per file, but it can grow if you have a large file header (long ACLs, fragmented files with lots of extents and multivolume files are several things that can cause a file header to extend beyond one block). This file header usage is not reported by the DIRECTORY command causing the discrepency between DIR/GRAND/SIZ=ALL and SHOW QUOTA. On a related issue, There STILL seems to be a bug which causes disk quotas to drift in a cluster environment. Has anyone else seen this? It seems to happen most often when SYSPRV is involved with file creation. I work arround this by running VERIFY frequently on our cluster disks to correct the quotas. Andrew W.
