What were you trying to do?
Set the quota on a newly created user homedir, using fs sq.
What's wrong:
My fs sq failed silently, without having any effect on the volume.
The same operation on another machine set the quota correctly, and in
the same shell that I had origionally used, I can now set the quota
as expected.
What I ran exactly...
(cwd is /afs/.athena/user/s/a)
#cfox@myxomycete#a$ fs lsmount sai
'sai' is a mount point for volume '#user.sai'
#cfox@myxomycete#a$ fs sq sai 50000
At this point 'vos ex user.sai' shows the quota to be 1, which is what
it started out as. I move over to the shell I had on moira, get tokens
and successfully set the quota as follows.
moira4.mit.edu# fs lq sai
Volume Name Quota Used % Used Partition
user.sai 1 19 1900%<< 82% <<WARNING
moira4.mit.edu# fs lsmount sai
'sai' is a mount point for volume '#user.sai'
moira4.mit.edu# fs sq sai 50000
moira4.mit.edu# fs lq sai
Volume Name Quota Used % Used Partition
user.sai 50000 19 0% 82%
Another vos ex (back on myxomycete) shows me that I've successfully
set the quota. Now I try uping the quota on my own homedir, and am
successful. Still in the same shell I had been using before, I try
again with user.sai, and am this time successful, changing it between 1,
50000 and 60000 (and back).
If I try without s:a tokens, I correctly get an error message.
I don't have high hopes for debugging the problem, but perhaps the message
"check the results carefully when doing afs administration under linux"
will save someone else greif.
