If this is an NFS share, you might want to test what happens if you set a refquota, then exceed it. I know on OpenSolaris there have been some bugs where you get a 'no space left on device' when you try to rm files, in that situation, making it difficult for a user to recover from exceeding their quota. It's possible FreeBSD doesn't suffer from this, but you should test it if it's likely to come up.
