[CentOS] dumpe2fs and repquota not agreeing on block size

Hello:

I am trying to set up user quotas on my /var partition to enforce limits on user's mailbox sizes. The machine is running CentOS 5.

When I do this: /sbin/dumpe2fs /dev/md2 | grep 'Block size' Block size: 4096

That tells me the block size is 4k.

But, if I do: repquota /var

It is telling me that one of my users is currently using 10264 blocks. But, if I look at their mail file, it is 10493792 bytes, which means they should be using 2562 blocks or so.

Also, if I do: df /var

I get this Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/md2 39674140 20401792 17224468 55% /var

Which tells me the blocks are 1K in size. The repquota result makes much more sense with a 1K block size.

Any idea why dumpe2fs is giving a 4K block size?

Thanks, Neil
