Sorry for the missing information:
I'm running slackware with
kernel  : 3.4.3
cluster : 3.1.92
gfsutils: 3.1.4

The file system I want to use the quota with is
/dev/mapper/shared-desktop on /home/csamba/desktop type gfs2 
(rw,noatime,nodiratime,hostdata=jid=0,quota=on)

first I was using gfs2_quota, I was able to init and set the quota for users
but get command was wrong after (when the limit is reached).
in ex:
 du -h /home/csamba/desktop/abendriss
19M     /home/csamba/desktop/abendriss

# gfs2_quota get -f /home/csamba/desktop/ -u abendriss -m
user  PARIS8\abendriss:  limit: 20.0       warn: 0.0        value: 40810.8   

 gfs2_quota init -f /home/csamba/desktop/ -u abendriss -m
mismatch: user 3000272: scan = 8, quotafile = 16
mismatch: user 3000208: scan = 8, quotafile = 16
mismatch: user 3000335: scan = 8, quotafile = 16
root at minnie:/# gfs2_quota get -f /home/csamba/desktop/ -u abendriss -m
user  PARIS8\abendriss:  limit: 20.0       warn: 0.0        value: 18.0  

Each time I need to call init to get the real value back. I was thinking that 
the value were updated each 60s but on my system it's not the case.

The I tried then the quota-tools 4.00 (from source) and get:

root at minnie:/var/tmp/quota-4/quota-tools# ./quotacheck -v -c -u 
/home/csamba/desktop/
quotacheck: Scanning /dev/dm-10 [/home/csamba/desktop] done
quotacheck: Cannot stat old user quota file on: No such file or directory. 
Usage will not be substracted.
quotacheck: Old group file name could not been determined. Usage will not be 
substracted.
quotacheck: Checked 1102 directories and 1 files
quotacheck: Cannot turn user quotas off on /dev/dm-10: Function not 
implemented
Kernel won't know about changes quotacheck did.

thanks,
