I have a user who can not upload any files to his home dir using ftp and the error message he gets is "disk quota exceeded".

When I did du -sk on his home dir as root , I find that it is not even close to his maximum quota limit. Quota is set as follows for this volume, qtree, X disk limit and no limit on # of files.

I checked his users quota from the filer and noticed that he is indeed over the limit of his quota.

Filer is F840 and Ontap version is 6.0.1R3.

Any ideas?

I imagine he must own some files which are not in his home directory.

Do 'find <home dir> -user <uname>| wc -l' to count the number of files that he owns in his directory and compare that with the number of files that quota reports.

Do 'find <disk> -user <uname>' to find all the files on the disk that he owns.
