Summary-of-situation: We are developing a 100-200Gb RAID disk array server (which will scale much larger - for a database we are developing). We have been trialling the new 2.4.0-test4 kernel, regarding NFS support. The trial server also runs NIS to authenticate users to numerous remote boxes, using netgroups etc. The server is a fully patched to latest updates, of all redhat available patches (even though this isn't kernel related, I thought I better mention this).
Summary-of-problem: Local quotas work for users, however for NIS authenticated users on the remote machines quota is not enforced at all. quota -v on the remote machine reports the correct quota level for the user, however neither hard, or soft quotas are enforced properly. I have not checked the problem with non NIS authenicated users - as that would be pointless in my situation. Quotas do work locally on the machine, just not on remote systems - ie users can fill the disk past their quota. The server system in this case is running the 2.4.0-test4 kernel with nfs-utils version 0.1.9.1-1 (RPM nfs-utils-0.1.9.1-1.i386.rpm) (which contains rquotad - presumably one is at fault). The clients are running 2.2.16 (though they will use 2.4.0 eventually), I suppose this could also be the fault source, but in any case it is a bug between communication between kernel versions - if this is the case, it is worrying!
