Package: quota Version: 4.00-4+deb7u1 Severity: wishlist Quota tools report things in blocks by default. Some operations, such as setquota(8), can only be done in blocks.
However, apparently the size of those "quota blocks" isn't the filesystem's block size (often 4096 bytes on ext4), nor is it the physical hard disk block size (usually 512). Rather they're the value of BLOCK_SIZE in sys/mount.h, hardcoded to 1024. I think it would be nice if the meaning and byte size of the "quota blocks" were mentioned in the manpages for quota commands. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.2 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/16 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages quota depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.49 ii e2fslibs 1.42.5-1.1 ii libc6 2.13-38+deb7u1 ii libcomerr2 1.42.5-1.1 ii libdbus-1-3 1.6.8-1+deb7u1 ii libldap-2.4-2 2.4.31-1+nmu2 ii libnl-3-200 3.2.7-4 ii libnl-genl-3-200 3.2.7-4 ii libwrap0 7.6.q-24 ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian8+deb7u1 quota recommends no packages.
