WAY TO GO ERIC!! Now we're making progress in a way that makes sense to me! However... On my system, the situation is reversed. larry:/ root# du -kd1 /Users 18557108 /Users/charles 2341624 /Users/randi 392 /Users/Shared 20899124 /Users larry:/ root# repquota -a 1K Block limits File limits User used soft hard grace used soft hard grace _spotlight-- 32 0 0 5 0 0 _lp -- 512 0 0 5 0 0 _teamsserver-- 1636 0 0 1403 0 0 505 -- 16 0 0 2 0 0 _mdnsresponder-- 52 0 0 4 0 0 _unknown -- 0 0 0 39 0 0 _amavisd -- 8 0 0 6 0 0 _postdrop -- 0 0 0 7 0 0 staff -- 1750792 0 0 2540 0 0 admin -- 1414044 0 0 22564 0 0 daemon -- 756 0 0 24 0 0 charles -- 19588728 0 0 47637 0 0 _clamav -- 61428 0 0 32 0 0 mail -- 0 0 0 1 0 0 nobody -- 32 0 0 9 0 0 _securityagent-- 32 0 0 5 0 0 _atsserver-- 8188 0 0 5 0 0 1K Block limits File limits User used soft hard grace used soft hard grace _spotlight-- 32 0 0 5 0 0 _lp -- 72 0 0 13 0 0 _teamsserver-- 1636 0 0 1403 0 0 505 -- 580 0 0 12 0 0 _xgridagent-- 0 0 0 2 0 0 _mdnsresponder-- 52 0 0 4 0 0 _unknown -- 0 0 0 11 0 0 _amavisd -- 8 0 0 6 0 0 _installer-- 138252 0 0 48 0 0 _uucp -- 1520 0 0 10 0 0 _xgridcontroller-- 0 0 0 2 0 0 daemon -- 0 0 0 3 0 0 charles -- 22142460 0 0 72932 0 0 _clamav -- 61636 0 0 33 0 0 _postfix -- 0 0 0 36 0 0 _update_sharing-- 22644 0 0 13 0 0 nobody -- 8564 0 0 7 0 0 _securityagent-- 248 0 0 10 0 0 randi -- 1040524 2000000 2000000 716 0 0 _atsserver-- 8188 0 0 5 0 0 Notice that user randi only appears once in repquota -a, and the total is smaller than the du output. Therefore??? du is telling me that there are files in /Users/randi that belong to another user??? Does that make sense? How can we check that? And checking the reverse...the output of repquota...how can we check the path for each file owned by user randi? Any other scenarios that would match what's going on? (Again..WAY TO GO, big breakthrough on what I was looking for!)
