Cannot change user quota. After a few minutes it reverts to 18.6 GB

The Basics

  • Nextcloud Server version ( 30.0.6):
  • Operating system and version (Debian 12):
  • Reverse proxy and version _(e.g. nginx 1.27.2)
  • PHP version (8.2.27):
  • Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Yes):
  • When did this problem seem to first start?
    • no idea
  • Installation method (Vmware)
  • Are you using CloudfIare, mod_security, or similar? (No)

Summary of the issue you are facing:

[Every time I try to change the quota for any user it will revert to 18.6GB after a few minutes. I checked the config file and has nothing specified to maintain a specific quota]

@Adrian_Galbincea check your account management settings

@scubamuc I already checked that and it is setup already to 30 GB.
Does it matter that the accounts are LDAP?

@Adrian_Galbincea yes it matters if the users accounts are LDAP… as far as I can see in the above screenshot this is the only definition available and my AD-Users only get 5GB.

I’ve checked my LDAP-AD-Integration so I’m guessing it could be server side or config.php.

@scubamuc thanks for checking.
If anyone else has an idea what that setting might be please let me know.

I did a test and I created a regular user and that one does not revert the quota… so it must revert always when does a Sync with the Domain Controller…

@scubamuc I found the settings that limit the quota. In the LDAP menu, you have on the top right Advanced and under the Special Attributes, there is a field called Quota Default. I left it blank and it seems to do the trick.

Thanks for your help.
