[Lustre-discuss] quota problems in lustre 1.8

I tried also using Lustre
1.6.7.2 with the official kernels and it works always in the same way:
the first joined server honours
the quota denying writing when quota is reached while the second server does
allow writing from the same user and from the same client.
I also tried to
use different kernel at the client side obtaining always the same behaviour.

Do anyone have any suggestion or hints?

In our installation the quota is absolutely needed.

Thank you in advance for any help you may provide.

Cheers,
Giacinto
