FreeBSD euterpe.cmi.ua.ac.be 9.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE #0: Fri Mar 30 11:02:32 CEST 2012     root at euterpe.cmi.ua.ac.be:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/PATS  amd64
>Description:
We have user quotas enabled on an amd64 system. The filesystem that has quotas enabled is mounted using the following options: (ufs, NFS exported, local, with quotas, journaled soft-updates)

When we check the user quotas using repquota, we can see all user quota. If a user adds new files to the filesystem, repquota does indeed reflect this: the used block count goes up. However, if a user deletes files, the used block count does not go down.

Running quotacheck recalculates the used block count, but afterwards the situation remains the same: used block count can increase, but does not decrease.

The system has recently been upgraded from FreeBSD 8.2. Quotas were working fine when running 8.2.



>How-To-Repeat:
Enable quotas on a FreeBSD 9.0 system, on a partition with soft updates and soft update journaling enabled. Create files and the used block count increases. Delete some files and the used block count remains the same.
>Fix:
None
