[Lustre-discuss] quota problems in lustre 1.8

[Nirmal Seenu]

I have the quota working on one of our cluster while I am trying to 
figure out what is wrong with the second cluster.

The cluster where I have quota working, the Lustre servers are running 
2.6.18-128.1.6.el5_lustre.1.8.0.1smp kernel and the Lustre clients run 
on RHEL5.3 distro with the 2.6.18-128.1.10.el5 kernel + Lustre patchless 
client version 1.8.0.1.

The other cluster that I have the same problem that you are facing, the 
lustre servers are running 2.6.18-92.1.17.el5_lustre.1.6.7.1smp and the 
clients run on RHEL4.4 with 2.6.21 kernel.org kernel + Lustre patchless 
clients version 1.6.7.

The quota problem seems to be related to the kernel on the Client side. 
  I guess that there is no 64-bit quota support in the 2.6.21 kernel?

What configuration do you have on the client side? I would be curious to 
see if the quota works fine with the 2.6.18-128.1.10.el5 kernel on your 
clients.
