2003 R2 and FSRM Directory-based quotas

A few days ago I implemented the FSRM quota system because I prefer the
directory-path-based quota system to the file ownership-based system.

Since then, and on a few occasions, I've received alerts about quota
violations for directory paths that have NOT reached their quota. Case in
point being a path (let's call it D:\User) that had a 500MB quota. With 450MB
in that directory, new files were unable to be written because of the quota.
I deleted the quota entry in FSRM and recreated it, and now the quota works
as expected again.

Any idea what's causing this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA!

Hello Adam,

If files are exceeding the Hard limit quota it will not be possible to copy
them, so maybe the file was to big.

Re: 2003 R2 and FSRM Directory-based quotas

I have the quota template configured to send me an e-mail when someone tries
to exceed their quota, and in this example, the file was around 10KB. When I
saw that e-mail, I logged on to the webserver myself and tried to create a
new (empty) text file in their folder and was unable to because of the quota,
even though they were only using 88% of their quota.

Also, deleting the quota entry and recreating it fixed the problem, which
makes me wonder about corruption in whatever files store the quota data.

Anyone?
