Just to update you, this happens when looged in with root user. But on logging with non-root user it works as expected.
Hi, We are going to have all Linux (i.e. NIS ) user's home directories on VNX NFS.  This NFS will be mounted on NIS server and set as auto, so any NIS user when logins into NIS client linux machine, his/her Home directory will be automounted to that client machine.  Now the thing is each user should be restricted with 5 GB of quota, and we have around 300 users.  I have configured below on our VNX 5400 for test purpose;  1) Created one File System TestHomeDirectories of 30 GB  2) Mounted File System to path /TestHomeDirectories  3) Exported File Systems as NFS shares /TestHomeDirectories  4) NFS shares can be listed on remote client via "showmount -e   5) On TestHomeDirectories file system > Properties > Quota Settings > have set Hard quota to 5 GB for test purpose  6) On remote client machine (right now not NIS client, since I am just testing quota is applied or not), I mounted NFS /TestHomeDirectories as /TestUser  7) Created TestUser1, TestUser2 & TestUser3 as 3 users  Issue:  > When I do a normal copy operation into this 3 directories (TestUser1, TestUser2, TestUser3), it allows me to copy more than 5 GB into each directory.  So what should I do so that each individual user (i.e. each directory) can be restricted to 5 GB each?  Thanks,
