good question. I have made the same observation. "quota -f" seems to have
issues in Cyrus 2.2. I found that it exactly doubles and halves the quotas
in turns. It even did so within the same run, i.e. some accounts were
reported twice, once with the lower quota, then again with the higher one.
Tests I did with "du -sh" seemed to indicate that neither value was
precise, but I'm not entirely sure. What's expecially weird is that in my
case only account beginning with a appeared to be affected. I found that I
could "fix" the accounts that were suddenly reported as being over quota by
running
quota -f user/accountname
When I did that, the lower value was reliably set. I'm currently testing
2.3.1 on a replica of our server and I have run into quota issues there as
well, but that's a topic for a separate mail.
Cheers, Sebastian Hagedorn
