hi all,
I hope somebody can offer some advice on a xfs disk quota problem, where the soft block quota grace period is ignored.
I confirmed that the problem affects at least 4 file servers that I mgirated to Rocky.
On all servers, xfs disk quotas have worked correctly for over a year with CentOS8.4.
Last month, I upgraded the 4 fileservers from CentOS8.4 to CentOS8.5, rebooted, then ran the migrate2rocky.sh script. The migration script reported no errors.
This week, I noticed that quotas grace period was ignored. I changed nothing on the servers except upgrading packages/migrating to Rocky.
Now when a user's soft block quota is exceeded, write access is denied (even though the user is within the grace period, and below the hard quota).
Below is information from one server, but all 4 are similar:
-------------------------------------------------------------
# cat /etc/redhat-release
Rocky Linux release 8.5 (Green Obsidian)
# uname -a

mount filesystem with user quotas and confirm:

touch: cannot touch '/export/716f9/julie/a': Disk quota exceeded
Can anybody offer some advice?
I tried the following without any luck:
removed the hard block disk quota
upgraded all packages and rebooted
downgraded quota-* rpms (from version 4.04-14 to 4.04.12 used rhel 8.3) and restarting rpc-rquotad (systemctl restart rpc-rquotad)
before downgrade
# rpm -qa | grep -i quota
quota-4.04-14.el8.x86_64
quotatool-1.6.2-13.el8.x86_64
quota-nls-4.04-14.el8.noarch
quota-rpc-4.04-14.el8.x86_64
after downgrade
# rpm -qa | grep -i quota
quota-rpc-4.04-10.el8.x86_64
quota-nls-4.04-10.el8.noarch
quota-4.04-10.el8.x86_64
Thanks!
Julie
