Topic: Strange e-mail for quotas!!!

[kmilkos]

The following users have exceeded their disk quota on the server called "********" All values are in megabytes.
Account                Usage     Limit with grace period     Absolute limit
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
******                  0.06                       50.00               0.00
***********          0.06                       50.00               0.00
*********             0.06                       50.00               0.00
********               0.06                       50.00               0.00

Just today i received this warning mail from the server!!!

While I didn't get one for quotas because I don't use them, I do like how there seems to be more notifications by default.

Even rkhunter will email you the report, which I think is a nice.

It's good to see the dev team taking such a seriousness in security features. Well done.

The strange is not the act of reporting to me but the reason..

It says they have exceeded their quota but since 0.06 is way less than 50.0 i think it is a strange behaviour... i dont want them to be locked in a week!!!

Then again it was a one time message so i think it will be ok (at least i hope so...)

Agreed that 0.06 is smaller than 50.0, but it is larger than 0.0 which looks like the  figure in the Absolute Limit column.

Am I reading it wrong?
