Disk Usage Miscalculation

Hi Support,

I'm having trouble with DA incorrectly reporting disk usage.

One of my user (abc) is reporting as having a disk usage of 500MB+ but on DA, it shows him using only 16.9MB.

Code: 
[root@soundwave home]# du -sh /home/abc/
526M    /home/abc/

I've tried doing a quota check and the following is the output I've received:

Code: 
[root@soundwave init.d]# /sbin/quotaoff -a; /sbin/quotacheck -avugm; /sbin/quotaon -a;
quotaoff: Cannot find quota file on /vz [/dev/sda4] to turn quotas on/off.
quotaoff: Cannot find quota file on /vz [/dev/sda4] to turn quotas on/off.
quotacheck: Scanning /dev/sda2 [/] done
quotacheck: Checked 41969 directories and 350842 files
quotacheck: Quota for users is enabled on mountpoint /vz so quotacheck might damage the file.
Please turn quotas off or use -f to force checking.
quotaon: Cannot find quota file on /vz [/dev/sda4] to turn quotas on/off.
quotaon: Cannot find quota file on /vz [/dev/sda4] to turn quotas on/off.
Code: 
[root@soundwave home]# quota -v abc
quota: Cannot get info for user quota file from kernel on /dev/sda4: No such process
quota: Can't initialize quota on /dev/sda4: No such process
Disk quotas for user abc (uid 663):
     Filesystem  blocks   quota   limit   grace   files   quota   limit   grace
      [B]/dev/sda2 [/B]     36  1024000 1024000               2       0       0

The thing is, abc is in /home/abc, but it states its filesystem as /dev/sda2 and not /dev/sdb1

All our user directories are in /home.

My df-h:

Code: 
[root@soundwave home]# df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2             103G   34G   65G  35% /
/dev/sda1             965M   42M  874M   5% /boot
/dev/sda4             121G  8.5G  106G   8% /vz
tmpfs                1013M     0 1013M   0% /dev/shm
/dev/sdb1             459G   27G  409G   7% /home


My partition table is as follows:

Code: 
LABEL=/                 /                       ext3    defaults,usrquota,grpquota      1 1
LABEL=/boot             /boot                   ext3    defaults        1 2
LABEL=/vz               /vz                     ext3    defaults,usrquota,grpquota      1 2
/dev/sdb1               /home                   ext3    defaults,usrquota,grpquota      1 1
devpts                  /dev/pts                devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0
tmpfs                   /dev/shm                tmpfs   defaults        0 0
proc                    /proc                   proc    defaults        0 0
sysfs                   /sys                    sysfs   defaults        0 0
LABEL=SWAP-sda3         swap                    swap    defaults        0 0

Repquota:

Code: 
[root@soundwave home]# /usr/sbin/repquota /home
repquota: Mountpoint (or device) /home not found.
repquota: Not all specified mountpoints are using quota.

My directadmin.conf puts the quota_partition as /home
PS: I'm not sure if this is related, but I've recently added a new HDD into my server, and mounted /home to the new hdd partition. Originally, my there was no mountpoint /home.

I've tried everything from the knowledgebase and the forums, but I still can't solve this issue.

I hope you guys could assist me.
 
Hi guys, I think I've fixed the problem.

But all my quota limits have been resetted.

is there a way to rewrite the quota limits?

Can you please explain how you fixed this issue? I Got the same problem on one of my servers. Can't seem to find a solution.

Edit: Found the solution.
Code: 
/sbin/quotaoff -a
/bin/mount -o remount,rw /home
/bin/mount -o remount,rw /
/sbin/quotacheck -cavugm
/sbin/quotaon -a
