user and group quotas have been added to zfs; I think from build 114, and Solaris 10 10/09 on, they should be available. See http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-5461/gigaz?a=view for how to set them. This is different from how you set them in ufs (and I think VxFS lets you set them the same way as with ufs), and I don't think there's a tool to convert. But if you're setting it the same for all users, it shouldn't be too hard to script that. The one thing that bothers me is that "quota" and so on probably will not report getting close, and there's no soft vs hard limit, so I imagine that a lot of users would scream that they hadn't been warned when they hit their limit and can't use any more space on a zfs filesystem with a user quota affecting them. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-help mailing list opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org
