Description

Hello,

The disk on my server where I have the storage directory (Nextcloud "data" directory) got full and this triggered the quota warning mail to be sent to all my users. None of these users where actually using their whole quota. I think this is a mistake and this app should have not sent any quota warning mails.

I am using Nextcloud 13.0.5.

Research direction

The report concerns the Nextcloud data directory becoming full and triggering quota warning mail for users who have not reached their quotas; it names no source file or test. Start by reproducing or tracing that full-disk condition in the quota-warning app, then verify that disk fullness alone no longer sends quota warnings to unaffected users.
