If machine A exports an nfs filesystem and machines B and C both mount
it as, say, /usr/home then how is it best to enforce common disk quotas?
If machine A is enforcing quotas and all the password files are
synchronised so user uids and gids are identical across all the
machines, will this be sufficient?

Thanks for any help.

Peter.
