Hi,</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
At Imperial we have been experiencing an issue with SS 5.0.x and quotas. The main symptom is a slow decay in the accuracy of reported quota usage when compared to the actual usage as reported by "du". This discrepancy can be as little as a few percent
and as much as many X100% . We also sometimes see bizarre effects such negative file number counts being reported.</div>

We have been working with IBM and have put in the latest 5.0.4-4 (that has a fix for mmcheckquota) that we have been pinning our hopes on, but this has not worked.</div>

Is anyone else experiencing similar issues? We need to try and get an idea if this is an issue peculiar to our set up or a more general SS problem.</div>

We are using user and group quotas in a fileset context.</div>
