The disk-quota on a username/disk can get out of synch. To test for incorrect disk-quote do a: $ DIR/SIZ=ALL/GRAND disk:[user...] Grand total of ? directories, A files, ?/B blocks. $ DIR/SIZ=ALL/GRAND disk:[000000]user.DIR Grand total of 1 directory, 1 file, ?/C blocks. $ SHOW QUOTA Userhas D blocks used, ? available, of ? authorized and permitted overdraft of ? blocks on If A+B+1+C=D, then the disk-quota is correct (minor differences can occur due to multiple header files). To correct problems use: $ MCR DISKQUOTA DISKQ> USE disk DISKQ> REBUILD DISKQ> EXIT
