hi all,
I've done more investigation into this problem. I think I
uncovered a bug, but I want a sanity check... (and please excuse
me for top posting - I wanted to include the original message
for easier reference).
As a reminder, I have a XFS filesystem exported via nfs4. The
nfs4 clients (all 13) report the quota incorrectly for a user
with >6TB data.
On the NFS server, the 'quota' and 'xfs_quota' commands report
disk usage correctly.
I modified the this user's quota on the server, and then
report the output of the 'quota' command below. I start
with a quota equal to the disk usage (6635021816), and then
decrease it, to the point that the client reports the same
quota value as the server.
Note: the lines separate instances where I adjusted the quota,
where the top line is 'quota' output on the nfs server, the
second line is from the nfs client. (The asterisk just
indicates that the user exceeded the quota block limit).

I think it's interesting that the second to last instance
didn't report any quota for this user on the client. Of
course, increasing or decreasing the quota produced output.
Any insight?
Thanks!
