Thanks for the extra explain. It indeed looks like a problem, but I'm not yet 100% sure. Would you please do me a favor by disabling quota and retest? If the problem still exists, then it's 100% sure the problem is not quota related. If the problem is just gone, then it's the old quota problem and I must dig further. BTW, if it's pure balance/scrub/trim related, it would be must better to change the title to remove the quota part. Thanks, Qu
