You would want the SOFT quota to be 9,765 and the HARD quota to be 14,648.When the SOFT quota is reached it will start warning the user they are over quota and give them 7 (?) days to bring it under the quota. The HARD quota is like a brick wall, it is the absolute maximum that user may have on disk. > Quotas for group user: > /home: blocks in use: 450549, limits (soft = 0, hard = 0) > inodes in use: 1079, limits (soft = 0, hard = 0) > > If i understand this right, the current quota is 0 nothing. correct > > > Thank you for your help > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
