Thanks Your disk quota = file headers + file space ALLOCATED. File headers are stored in the MFD or [000000] directory in INDEXF.SYS, and each file will consume at least one block (more for heavy fragmentation or long ACLs). To see file space both used and ALLOCATED, use DIR/SIZE=ALL and the same for your root directory ([-]xxx.DIR). Realize that it is possible to have files owned by you in other directories or in no directory at all (which can be found by $ANALYZE/DISK/REPAIR). It's also possible for the QUOTA.SYS file to become corrupted (fix with $ANALYZE/DISK/REPAIR or from DISKQUOTA, REBUILD). This question comes up often enough that DEC really should clarify the documentation and consider adding a file's INDEXF space to the DIR/SIZE report. - Jon Spear
