[Gluster-users] Wrong directory quota usage

[João Baúto]

Hi all,

We have a 4-node distributed cluster with 2 bricks per node running Gluster
7.7 + ZFS. We use directory quota to limit the space used by our members on
each project. Two days ago we noticed inconsistent space used reported by
Gluster in the quota list.

A small snippet of gluster volume quota vol list,

 Path                   Hard-limit  Soft-limit          Used
Available         Soft-limit exceeded?   Hard-limit exceeded?
/projectA              5.0TB        80%(4.0TB)    3.1TB           1.9TB
         No                               No
*/projectB            100.0TB    80%(80.0TB)  16383.4PB   740.9TB
 No                               No*
/projectC              70.0TB     80%(56.0TB)   50.0TB         20.0TB
     No                              No

The total space available in the cluster is 360TB, the quota for projectB
is 100TB and, as you can see, its reporting 16383.4PB used and 740TB
available (already decreased from 750TB).

There was an issue in Gluster 3.x related to the wrong directory quota (
https://lists.gluster.org/pipermail/gluster-users/2016-February/025305.html
 and
https://lists.gluster.org/pipermail/gluster-users/2018-November/035374.html)
but it's marked as solved (not sure if the solution still applies).

Any idea on what's happening and how to fix it?

Thanks!
