Disk usage stats don't seem to be updating correctly for the admin user. I'm new to DirectAdmin (we're moving from cpanel) so I'm not sure what's normal with DA.
OS = AlmaLinux 8.7
Quotas are enabled for the filesystem.
realtime_quota=2 is enabled in DirectAdmin settings.
But usage stats are NOT being updated in real-time, at least for the admin DirectAdmin user. E.g. when a user receives a large email or deleted emails to clear space, it can take hours for the usage stats to update.
repquota "/"; returns up-to-date values for all users, and updates immediately.
doveadm quota get -u [email protected] returns up-to-date email usage values, and updates immediately.
The disk usage value given in the user's DirectAdmin updates correctly.
BUT the disk usage value given in cat /usr/local/directadmin/data/users/user/user.usage | grep quota and the values shown in the admin's DirectAdmin is NOT updated in real-time and can take hours to update.
Running echo "action=quotatally&value=all" >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue updates the usage in admin's DirectAdmin, but from what I have read that shouldn't be needed and quotas are supposed to be updated in real-time with realtime_quota=2??
Can someone please confirm if the above is normal, and if not, what could be causing this?
As a last resort but not ideal, I could add the task.queue tally as a cron say every 15 minutes to get the stats for the admin user up-to-date. Would running it for all users "action=quotatally&value=all" be a big resource hog?
Thanks
