You are seeing user quotas, not share/export/qtree quotas. You need a qtree
quota to limit the qtree to 2GB. User quotas define how much of a
system/export/share/qtree quota is available per user.
The advantage of using a qtree over a directory is that quotas can be set on
a qtree and oplocks can be enabled or disabled dynamically on each qtree.

> Running a 740 filer with Ontap 6.4.5. I have users that are
> mapped to their home directories on the filer. We have 2 GB
> quotas on the home directories. When one of our users clicks
> on her mapped drive, it shows that 12.8MB are used and 1.98GB
> are free in the Windows Explorer pane.
> When I check it as another user on another system, it says
> that 4K is used and 1.99GB is free in the pane. If I
> right-click on the folder in the home directory and bring up
> the properties of the folder, it shows that there is 1.51GB
> of data in there. What's causing the discrepancy?
