User quota is different in server and client.

[skiran]

I am facing a problem with quota command. It doesn't show the soft and hard limit correctly. It shows 0 Kb soft limit on other tru64 servers. But in Linux servers it works fine.


quota on NFS Server : (tru64 5.0 )

quota -u user1
Disk quotas for user user1 (uid 219):
Filesystem blocks quota limit grace files quota limit grace
/home1 1583093 4194304 4718592 44659 0 0


quota on NFS Client: (tru64 4.0 )

# quota -u user1
Disk quotas for user user1 (uid 219):
Filesystem blocks quota limit grace files quota limit grace
/home1 1583093* 0 524288 none 44656 0 0


If we run quota -u user1 on any Linux machine , it will show user quota properly .
And File system is same for both.
we have written a script to check quota . This is failing due to this .
Can anybody throw some light on this?

Ensure that the following service is enabled in /etc/inetd.conf:

rquotad/1 dgram rpc/udp wait root /usr/sbin/rpc.rquotad rpc.rquotad

Use inetd -h to refresh the configuration file if you have done any changes.

Thanks for your reply...

rquotad is already enabled. Quota is working for some users . But for some users it is showing 0Kb soft limit.

Are the users ID consistent on the server and the client?

Hi,
The problem exists only for nfs client which are less than tru64 V5.0( V4.0F )
And the binary (/usr/sbin/quota ) also differs.
For Linux and other servers it works fine.

Are there any patches(tru64 V4.0) for this quota command?

Thanks,
