| 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.
