quota -v is working correctly. It looks at the mount table (essentially does a "df") to get a list of all the mounted filesystems. For each NFS filesystem, quota queries the NFS server to get the quota for the user on that filesystem.
It looks like you are mounting individual home directories separately with an automounter. But I suspect all these home directories are on the same volume on the netapp. So this results in the netapp getting multiple quota queries for the same user on the same volume. That is why the same quota numbers print out multiple times.
If you don't like this behavior you can mount the directory above the home directories instead of mounting each home directory separately. One mount translates into one query.
Hi all,
We have set the quotas for all the users in the /vol/vol0/home.
If any user from the unix system gives the command quota -v. he gets lists of all the users who are owning the files in the home directory. But the disk usage is of my home directory. Please let me know is there any solution for this.
