Disk Quota Incorrect for Users

[ORiN]

I am using CentOS for my VPS. However, I noticed recently that the disk quotas are not calculated correctly.

I have a user that is using only 533MB but on DirectAdmin it is showing up as 1063+ MB. When I check the details of the breakdown. It is showing 1.04 GB under System Quotas.

How can I fix this issue?

Have you checked at the shell level to verify that the problem is indeed with system quotas snf not with DirectAdmin counting files in another location that you've forgotten about?

You may need to check with your vendor, as different VPS systems handle quotas differently.

I am not entirely sure. However, the screenshot I took seems to point to usage being counted twice. My server admin is asking me to ask the VPS provider to enable and increase second-level quotas though it doesn't seem to have resolve the issue at all.

UPDATE: My server admin ran a check and the storage usage is correct. It appears that DirectAdmin is calculating the System Quotas of user-owned files twice. Where can that be fixed?

Hello,

DA relies 100% on the System Quotas to be correct.
If you've resolve the System Quota calculation, eg:

quota -v [B]username[/B]

, then you'd need only wait for the nightly tally to update the new info... or run it now manually, eg:

echo 'action=tally&value=all' >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue

and then wait however long the tally take on your system to run (it will be run in the background, then echo will return immediately)

Beyond that, if the System Quotas are too high, use this to find out where the files are:
