Quotas are a property of the underlying fs. I use reiserfs and it works for me. When a group or user remains exceeds soft limit longer than the grace period then at a point they/he/she/it can't allocate more space getting instead the error that there is no space left on the device. Which is a little misleading. You have to inform your users to interpret it in the context of available space on the volume. If the space is still there, then it was the quota that was exceeded. I included a little modification in swat to list all quotas with usage and grace periods remaining under "Status", ahead of all other stati. And I also put a little icon on the desktop labelled "Quotas" which lists the same thing in a DOS box. The tab-aligend "repquota" report is a bit too messy so I have a little awk formatter to align the columns. I'll post it if it's necessary. _____________________________________________________________ Get 25MB, POP3, Spam Filtering with LYCOS MAIL PLUS for $19.95/year. http://login.mail.lycos.com/brandPage.shtml?pageId=plus&ref=lmtplus -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
