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.

Do your users all have the same uid in the filer's /etc/passwd file? What OS & release is the client?

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.

No, you misinterpreted this output. It's showing the one user's disk usage on all the mountpoints that are on the system. bhaskarg owns no files on /chicago/disk14 and 229900 KB of files in his home dir. He owns those files on the same volume (or quota tree) as in the other mount points because those other mount points are really the same thing, mounted differently.
I agree this output is confusing and not all that useful, because it prints the same information repeatedly but with different things in the first column.

First off all, IT IS NOT A BUG. (I'm not underscoring this with anyone particular in mind.) It is precisely the expected behavior under UNIX. The quota command checks aevery mounted filesystem. If the filesystem happens to be mounted twice, three times, or a thousand, it will check it the number of times it is mounted.
Now, how to solve it. We wrote a custom quota command in Perl using the Perl quota module to only query the current filesystem. This may break (it did in our case) other people's scripts, so exercise some caution.
