Wrong usage of limit

[inomi13]

I noticed that one of my user has wrong disk usage. I set limit 50GB and currently disk usage is 35GB, however directadmin shows usage on 51GB.

When I login via user and refresh usage or change limit quota of this account then da shows correct value but next day da shows a one more time wrong usage.

I checked the limit settings and disk usage by logging in via SSH. This an issue only one account.

du -sh home/username
35G /home/username

quota -u username
Filesystem blocks quota limit grace files quota limit grace
/dev/vda4 36323080 52428800 57671680 52515 0 0

it counts all data that owned by user on all partitions where quota monitored (maybe you have extracted backup of this user files in admin account), + it counts database usage, so check DB size too.

First of all what I did, was check all files in system which have owner that user.

I noticed one correlation, every single day backup of user accounts start at 12:00 midnight and tally cron function runs at the same time so probably here is an issue. I changed start backup to 12:30 AM and we will see tomorrow.

you can edit quota for user, from DA, like modify just any digit, save, revert - it will run quota update for this exact account immediately.

I know and I changed quota for user from DA and then disk usage shows correct value. As I told, an issue with wrong disk usage shows next day.

Depending on how you backup, a 35gb account can add a damn lot to those 35gb, for a little while. Well, 35gb might not be 'a little while'. If da calculates when the backup hasn't finished yet, it might see a lot more data in use. I guess... not sure if that's the case tho.
