What were you trying to do?
I tried to copy, as myself, a file from my home directory into the
"gsp" locker.
What's wrong:
Even though I have the permission to do this and there
is plenty of space on the filesystem, I got "Disc quota exceeded."
What should have happened:
The file should have been copied without error.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
1) I am in the gsp group.
~% hesinfo bjaspan grplist
watchmkr:509:a_staff:64:gsipb:15001:gsipbbin:395:olc_help:709:bjaspan:11391:ncs:15696:krbdev:9805:source-access:15628:gsp:12092
2) The directory I was trying to copy into and all those above it are
group writable.
~% ls -al /mit/gsp/Iolanthe/ /mit/gsp/Iolanthe/Programme/
/mit/gsp/Iolanthe/Programme/:
total 5
drwxrwxr-x 2 gsp 512 Mar 4 12:48 ./
drwxrwxr-x 3 gsp 512 Mar 3 11:39 ../
/mit/gsp/Iolanthe/:
total 3
drwxrwxr-x 3 gsp 512 Mar 3 11:39 ./
drwxrwxr-x 12 gsp 1024 Mar 4 12:47 ../
drwxrwxr-x 2 gsp 512 Mar 4 12:48 Programme/
3) There is plenty of free space on gsp.
(quota -v hung while I was writing this bug report, although it worked
a little earlier. Trust me, the account is 500K under quota.)
4) Observe the error:
~% cp world/cast.tex /mit/gsp/Iolanthe/Programme
cp: /mit/gsp/Iolanthe/Programme/cast.tex: Disc quota exceeded
~%
5) If I try to copy the file as gsp, it works fine.
athena% cd /mit/gsp/Iolanthe/Programme
athena% cp /mit/bjaspan/world/cast.tex .
athena%
