> I've just set up disk quotas.  Everything is installed correctly. My only question is what is a block?  How many bytes or megabytes is that?  I need to set a limit of say...5 MB, how many blocks would that be?  Also, what is an INODE?  All help is greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.  Reply to neubyneu@twcny.rr.com

Block = 512 kB = 0.5 MB, 'man df' is one place blocks are
mentioned. There are probably better references.

Your limit, 5 MB = 10 Block

An inode is an integer associated with a file on the filesystem. 
Inodes are unique on a file system. A filename associates a string
with an inode. There are a fixed number of inodes on a given
filesystem. 'man inode'
