Please also note that when you write as root, you are not restricted by the
quota limits.

See example:

Write as non root user and run into hard limit:
[mr at home-11 limited]$ dd if=/dev/urandom of=testfile2 bs=1000 count=100000
dd: error writing ‘testfile2’: Disk quota exceeded
29885+0 records in
29884+0 records out
29884000 bytes (30 MB) copied, 3.38491 s, 8.8 MB/s

[root at home-11 limited]# mmrepquota gpfs0
                         Block Limits                                    |
File Limits
Name       type             KB      quota      limit   in_doubt    grace |
files   quota    limit in_doubt    grace
...
limited    FILESET      322176     214784     322304        128   7 days |
5       0        0        0     none

Now write as root user and exceed hard limit:
[root at home-11 limited]#  dd if=/dev/urandom of=testfile2 bs=1000
count=100000
100000+0 records in
100000+0 records out
100000000 bytes (100 MB) copied, 12.8355 s, 7.8 MB/s

[root at home-11 limited]# mmrepquota gpfs0
                         Block Limits                                    |
File Limits
Name       type             KB      quota      limit   in_doubt    grace |
files   quota    limit in_doubt    grace
...
limited    FILESET      390656     214784     322304    8939520   7 days |
5       0        0       40     none

Did you try to run mmcheckquota on the device

I observed that in the most recent versions (for the last 3 years)
there is a real long lag for GPFS to process the internal accounting.
So there is a slippage effects that skews quota operations.
mmcheckquota is supposed to reset and zero all those cumulative deltas
effective immediately.
