Sorry, but the title is misleading.. it's xfs_quota -xc 'reports -hu' /exports/TEST isn't working.  quotas do appear to be enforced.

| Hi All,
| 
| I have a very strange problem that I'm unable to pinpoint at the
| moment.  For some reason I am simply unable to get xfs_quotas to
| report correctly on a freshly installed, fully patched CentOS 6 box.
| I have specified all the same options as on another machine which
| *is* reporting quota
| 
| LABEL=TEST /exports/TEST xfs
| inode64,nobarrier,delaylog,usrquota,grpquota 0 0
| 
| xfs_quota -xc 'limit -u bsoft=900m bhard=1g user' /exports/TEST
| 
| however
| 
| xfs_quota -xc 'report -hu' /exports/
| 
| reports back nothing pertaining to the user
| 
| but if a do a quota user I get information back
| 
| Disk quotas for user user (uid 67876):
|      Filesystem  blocks   quota   limit   grace   files   quota
|        limit   grace
| /dev/mapper/DATA-TEST
|                       0  921600 1048576               1       0
|                             0
| 
| This is very strange and it's something new.  Can anyone confirm
| similar findings on their machines before I consider reporting a
| bug?
