Thanks Chuck and all thatoffered help. It ended up being a stupid admin trick. I had unzippedthe humongous tarball of the old site into the /home dir and the gid of the site in question ( a new one) was used on the old site. We haddeleted a bunch of old sites before actually exporting and importing tothe new box. The old gid was a big honkin site. > > Duh. > > Looking at the code for get_quotas.pl pointed me in the right directionto > start looking at gid issues.

I feel your pain Bret. I did EXACTLY the same thing. Moved all sites from an old box to a new one by cmuExporting all sites, dumping all databases, and than making a tarball of /home/sites & /home/.sites (just in case). I already knew that cmuImport doesn't maintain site numbers when exporting/importing - and so changes group numbers. I just didn't think about old GIDs and new GIDs affecting the quota subsystem. When I unzipped the tarball under my /home/users/chuck directory to get a file - the old GIDs were still on the files. Half a dozen domains immediately started complaining about not receiving e-mail. And BlueQuartz showed them all over-quota. It took me hours to track down the over-quota, since a du -hs /home/.sites/* didn't show their directories over limit. I finally figured it out by doing a "find / -group groupname". It found a whole bunch of files belonging to that group outside their /home/site/www.domain.tld directory. When I figured out what happened, I just did a "chown -R root:root *" in that unzip directory and everything was fixed. Congratulations on figuring it out. Chuck
