The GID selection rules for account creation are Linux distribution specific. It sounds like you are familiar with Red Hat, where I think this idea of GID=UID started. sles12sp1-brc:/dev/disk/by-uuid # useradd testout sles12sp1-brc:/dev/disk/by-uuid # grep testout /etc/passwd testout:x:1001:100:

JAB, The set group id bit is tangential to my point. I expect GPFS to count any files a user owns against their user quota. If they are a member of multiple groups then I also expect it to count it against the group quota of whatever group is associated with that file. I.e., if they do a chg
