We noticed a big change in the workings of the quota command when moving from RHEL3 to CentOS5.
Under RHEL3 (quota-3.10-7), quota -v essentially lists the fs quotas for all users logged into the local machine. Under CentOS5 (quota-3.13-1.2.5.el5), only one user quota is displayed, and while the actual data seems to be correct, the attribution is usually wrong. E.g.
$ whoami user1 $ quota -v Disk quotas for user user1 (uid 12345): Filesystem blocks quota limit grace files quota limit grace nfs:/vol/vol2/user2 2596260 4194304 4194304 406132 614400 614400 $
This is for NFS quotas. We don't use local Linux quotas, and I haven't tested them.
I don't know how this stuff works under the hood; is it possible that underlying kernel structures have changed, or some kernel config was dropped? I compiled the latest quota tools on both RHEL3 and CentOS5 and found the same behaviour, so the quota tools themselves are most likely not at fault.
