From: <PMANERA%NYBVX1.BITNET@WISCVM.ARPA> Why would DISKQUOTA sho more usage than DIRECTORY/BY on the same device? DISKQUOTA for one of my users shows 4458 blocks used, but after searching the entire device (an RA81) I have only been able to locate 4102 blocks using DIR/BY. I've run ANAL/DIS/REP, recreated QUOTA.SYS and rebuilt it with the same results. Any ideas? Peter

From: Richard Garland <OC.GARLAND%CU20B@COLUMBIA.ARPA> DISKQUOTA counts every block used in the index file against the user. Thus QUOTA_total = DIRECTORY_total + # files + # directories + foo where foo are extra file headers for fragmented files. Usually (hopefully) FOO=0. Also if you had a crash or othe wierdness, do a REBUILD of the quota file. I found after initial screaming from my users that they are being gyped (quota-wise) this formula quiets them down.

From: ecsvax!jerryr%mcnc.csnet@csnet-relay.ARPA DIRECTORY ignores the file header blocks in its size count. ANALY/DISK/USAGE if read and totaled would probably give you the DISKQUOTA count. Depending on your directory specification in the DIR/BY command and your file structure you could also be missing the size of the user's directory file in [000000].

Add the total space shown by dir/by to the number of files shown and that should be what diskquota shows (Don't forget the directory file in [000000] if it is there) --- Random Research Triangle Institute ...!mcnc!rti-sel!rcb
