[Gluster-users] Quota going crazy

Hi,

I'm experiencing strange quota mismatch (too much/too few) with 3.6.4 on a setup which is already an upgrade from the 3.4 series.

In an attempt to reset quota and check from scratch without breaking service I disabled quota and reset quota-related xattrs on every file on every brick (this is a 3×2 setup on 6 bricks of 40TB each).
I then re-enabled the quotas, waited a bit for the quota daemons to wakeup and then I launched a `find` on one of the quota-limited subdirectories. It computed the right size.
But on another (bigger) directory, the size was a little too small. I re-started the same `find`, and the final size was much much greater than the real size (provided by `du`). It should be around 4.1TB and it showed something like 5.4!
I relaunched the same `find` again and again but it continued to grow, until around 12.6 TB. Next I ran the `find` on another client and… again a growth.

I'm running out of idea right now. If any of you had an idea about what I could do… thanks in advance.
