That's correct - the user tools work with a blocksize of
1024 bytes. The quotactl system call, once it gets into
the XFS quota manager code, manipulates 512 byte blocks,
so there are conversions done in the user tools. I have
sometimes found it useful to use the "quot" tool to cross
reference the block counts reported by the tools - this
tool doesn't use the quotactl syscall but instead walks
the filesystem and totals user block counts, then reports
in 1024 byte units also.
There was also a recent change (couple of weeks ago) to the
kernel and userspace tools in this regard, so if you're
seeing unexpected block count values, its likely that your
tools are out of sync with your kernel.
Before you grab new tools, wait for my next message (later
today) on the new version of the quota tools. These will
include the "quot" utility I referred to above.
cheers.
