Hello, your problem is easy to explain. There is a difference between allocated
blocks on disk and the EOF which is usually shown with $dir

- If I enter (being in the home directory) $dir/size/grand [...] I get the
  result 1167 blocks used.
         ^^^^
- If I enter $show quota I get the result 1504 blocks used.
                                          ++++

- I typed (in home directory) $dir/full [...] and summarized the numbers after
- I typed $dir/full [-]<user>.DIR and got: Size: 1/9; summarized to the
  previous result it makes 1167/1362
                           ^^^^
- I know computer scientists will start counting by the number ZERO. For
  every file you have there will be a zero-block; you can get stored
  information therein with $ dump/size=(start:0,count:1) <file_name>
  I have 140 file (including [-]<user>.DIR). Result: 1167/1502 (140+1362=1502)
                                                          ++++

Please don't ask me were the two missed blocks are, I realy don't know.

But I tested the following using the $show quota-command. If I set a great
number of ACLs to one file the number of used blocks will become greater.

I hope this helps
Regards, Elmar
