repquota reports 119040 Blocks, quota says the same and quot says
118864. Unsure if the user just created/deleted a file in between the calls.
Running du -s . in the users homedirectory says: 59328. But there is
no 512K 1024K problem since for other users the values are the same in
quota and du output.
The filesystem itself has the following data (df -k):
/dev/mapper/data3-user3
157267200 114125352 43141848 73% /export/user3

But the difference should not be a factor close to (but not exactly) 2.
The starnge is, that for other users du and quota say the same so it
cannot be a general quota <-> du problem.

Well what both say is close to each other but still very different from
the du output. So I guess I have to run xfs_repair on the whole
filesystem and look what happens. Or do you have any other idea?
Thanks
