These ID's quotas show exactly twice the appropriate number of
consumed blocks, when copied or chowned. This means a user can
create a 10MB file, and show 20MB of quota consumed. Conversely,
he can delete a 10MB file, and reduce his quota consumtion by
20MB.
quotacheck corrects the problem for existing files.
This affects *roughly* every 40th UID, and exact UID's effected
are not constant accross filesystems, but are quite constant
within filesystems, even with different kernels.
A script was written to document the problem, it chowns a 13MB
file to each UID, recording the UID's quota consumtion both
before and after, and noting those that change by something other
than 13MB.
Note that the UID's affected are all divisible by 4, and
separated from each other by one of only three or four values.
Here is the script, followed by a sample output.
Any clues?
