[CentOS] discrepancy between what quota reports and what du reports (second time post)

Hi Friends,


I am running samba as domain member of AD 2k3 on Centos 4.4 . Quota of
2GB is set for each user but for 2-3 uers quota or edquota is
showing wrong blocks even though disk space occupied by that user is
very less than the quota specified for ex 810 MB.


quota bhavesh.kumar
Disk quotas for user bhavesh.kumar (uid 11254):
    Filesystem  blocks   quota   limit   grace   files   quota   limit   grace
/dev/cciss/c0d0p5
               2791832* 2000000 2000000            1595       0       0

# du -sh bhavesh.kumar
809M    bhavesh.kumar



dumpe2fs /dev/cciss/c0d0p3 |grep -i "block size"
dumpe2fs 1.35 (28-Feb-2004)
Block size:               4096


I tried quotaoff and quotaon on the /home partition and also mount
-all command to remount the partitions but still the problem is
persisting.

Further diagnosing the problem there are double entries of the files
in the directory kindly see entries 45-50 & 63-68

 find . -uid 11254 -exec ls  -l "{}" ";"|nl  | more

I have rebooted the system but still the problem persists. Even I have
recreated the users again but everytime it is taking up the old
blocks.
There is another person who faced the same problem with redhat 4.4 but the
solution is not given.
