We have around 1000 users all with quotas set on their ZFS filesystems on 
Solaris 10 U3.  We take snapshots daily and rotate out the week old ones.  The 
situation is that some users ignore the advice of keeping space used below 80% 
and keep creating large temporary files.  They then try to remove files when 
the space used is 100% and get over quota messages.  We then need to remove 
some or all of their snapshots to free space.  Is there anything being worked 
on to keep some space reserved so files can be removed when at the quota limit 
or some other solution?  What are other people doing is this situation?  We 
have also set up alternate filesystems for users with transient data that we do 
not take snapshots on, but we still have this problem on home directories.

thanks,
Ben
