So now it fails only on 512 byte block size filesystems?

Perhaps rather than an exact match, a "within_tolerance" match could
be done on the relevant fields?

i.e something like:

blksused=`{requota cmd} | awk '/fsgqa/ { print $3 }'`
_within_tolerance "blocks used" $blksused 16 1

If you wanted to get really fancy, the tolerance could be set
depending on filesystem type and block size, but I don't think that
is really necessary....

Cheers,

Dave.
