Looks like like the amount granted is now exposed in the lfs quota output.</div><div><br>On Jul 18, 2016, at 7:00 AM, Gibbins, Faye <<a href="mailto:Faye.Gibbins@cirrus.com">Faye.Gibbins@cirrus.com</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div>

to answer you the mail passed through the list.<br>
I am not sure of the meaning of granted or I would have answered you. I am not using quotas.<br>
Anyway looks like is is really your used quota if we suppose that 117440512 are 512Bytes blocks<br>
this matches 86M<br>
<br>
hope I have been helpful<br>
