    Greetings:

    SuSE 8.2 ; quota-3.08-27 (with quota_v2 enabled at boot)

    User hard limit = xxxMB on /home
    At some point quotas must have been off as quite a few are over quota.
    After removing stuff they bring use-age down to a lot less than hard limit.
    Turn quota off, run quotacheck, turn back on, then do repquota.
    Users's blocks used same as before.
    And they can't save a darn thing!!

    The only way is to increase the hard limit. At this rate they gonna squeeze me
    off the road :(
    (Users are on windoze, but that has no bearing, right?)

    I've googled, browsed, manned, doc'd, reinstalled (just quota, of course).
    Nothing.

    I really would appreciate some assistance.
