I set up disk quotas over nfs4 in an automounter based system. On the clients I can read the quotas using
quota -v
showing that the hard limit is exceeded. On write operations I get an i/o error. But it should be a disk quota exceed error. What needs to set in addition.
EDIT:
I found out that I can't write. But due to the I/O error which is triggered. I don't get the error msg from the quotad which is much better to understand for a user.
$ cp /etc/fstab .
cp: closing `./fstab': Input/output error
