Original query:

I have the following problem which is that there is a difference
between diskquota and "dir /by_owner /size /grand".  Using the
diskquota facility, I see that a user has 48,976 blocks allocated to
him but when I do a directory by ownership, there are only 42,578
blocks owned by him.  Thus there is a difference of 6,398
unaccountable blocks.  I used the rebuild option of the diskquota
facility and that didn't change anything.  Thus does anyone have
suggestions or ideas where those blocks may be.  I am aware that some
blocks may be used for directory information.

Response:

Not only are the blocks that contain the directory charged to the user
but the file header blocks are as well.  There is at least one file
header block for each file (and directory) that the user has; there will
be more than one if the file header has been extended as would be common
on a fragmented disk.
