Guest Adam McKee Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 A few days ago I implemented the FSRM quota system because I prefer the directory-path-based quota system to the file ownership-based system. Since then, and on a few occasions, I've received alerts about quota violations for directory paths that have NOT reached their quota. Case in point being a path (let's call it D:\User) that had a 500MB quota. With 450MB in that directory, new files were unable to be written because of the quota. I deleted the quota entry in FSRM and recreated it, and now the quota works as expected again. Any idea what's causing this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA!

Guest Adam McKee Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 Re: 2003 R2 and FSRM Directory-based quotas I have the quota template configured to send me an e-mail when someone tries to exceed their quota, and in this example, the file was around 10KB. When I saw that e-mail, I logged on to the webserver myself and tried to create a new (empty) text file in their folder and was unable to because of the quota, even though they were only using 88% of their quota. Also, deleting the quota entry and recreating it fixed the problem, which makes me wonder about corruption in whatever files store the quota data. Anyone?
