That file is updated periodically by the file system. Reason number 1 why the dir/size/grand didn't match up to what the Diskquota utility reported. Reason number 2, is that the dir/size/grand reports only the *actual* which amount of data in the file. The file may actually have allocated more space than it is currently using. You may look at how much space it has allocated with a Dir/size=All. Even then, I'm not entirely sure whether or not that the size of the file headers are taken into account.. -- 'Rob Usenet: rimbold@hawk.cs.ulowell.edu AT&T : (617) 452-5000 x2693 University of Lowell Productivity Center, Lowell MA.
