I'm not the one who was asking but I can answer this question from my point of view (I also think about quota restrictions to my users): I want to give 5MB total disk space per user. So as I understand qouta mechanism I cannon check if it's OK when I've two quotas on two filesystems. Each user should have all his/her files in $HOME (mail folders, WWW files etc.). What will happen when I want 5MB limit and user will have 3MB inbox on first filesystem and 4MB mail/WWW files in $HOME? For me the only solution is to have all users' files in $HOME. -- o------------------o ___ |Leszek Gerwatowski| _/_|_\ o------------------o (o\__/o)=))))))))))))) "Don't fix it if it isn't broken"
