I found the solution. For some reason quota was turned off although it was turned on some time ago. You can find this out using: # quotaon -ap group quota on / (/dev/xvda1) is on user quota on / (/dev/xvda1) is on group quota on /chroot/home (/dev/xvda3) is off user quota on /chroot/home (/dev/xvda3) is off And solve the problem using # quotaon -g /dev/path or # quotaon -u /dev/path Regards, Alex Am 16.09.2014 um 11:36 schrieb Alexander Rusa <alexander.rusa at emerion.com>: > Hi, > I have exactly the same problem that you experienced in Nov, 2013. > I am using ext4 with journaled quota and the quota usage is only updating when I run quotacheck manually. > Have you found a solution? > Regards, > Alex > >> I have set up user quotas on an ext4 filesystem.
