From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.4.5-win4lin i686; en-US; rv:0.9.1) Gecko/20010607 How reproducible: Always There are several things that do not work as expected: 1) The program quotacheck hangs if there are named pipes in the filesystem. It's probably trying to read from them or something. 2) The command quota does not work for ordinary users (permission denied, even for the same user). When run as root, it displays nothing (empty fields). repquota works as expected. 3) The amount of used blocks/inodes is not updated automatically (when adding or removing files). It is only updated when another quotacheck is run.
I emailed the maintainer Jan Kara. With patches for the 2.4.5 kernel and new tools from sourceforge (version 3.01-pre7), all the above issues are solved.

3.01-pre7 now available via rawhide, and will shortly be released as official errata.
