[CentOS] XFS quotas not working at all (seemingly)

[Erik M. Laxdal]

You're probably using an LDAP account repository and get just the system 
accounts (that you're not interested in for the quota information) with 
a 'getent passwd' command.  The xfs_quota command tends to only report 
accounts that can also be listed via 'getent passwd'.

Try this command:

      xfs_quota -xc "report -L 1 -U 200000 -h" /exports/TEST

where '1' is the lowest uid number that you are interested in and 200000 
is the largest uid number of interest.

I don't have a test machine with older kernels installed to test from 2.6.32-279.5.2.el6.x86_64 to the current 2.6.32-358.18.1.el6.x86_64 to see what version of kernel broke reporting, so if someone does have one with older kernels that would be great if you could test this for me
