Does anyone know if any of the later versions of FreeBSD support enforcement of quota on disks mounted via NFS on the *client* side. When I tried putting the 'userquota' in the fstab it said it wasn't supported by the nfs mounter (I think this was on 2.1.5). I do have quotas turned on and working on the server. My user's home disks are on a different server than the one they log into for shell access, so it is not really possible to enforce quotas there. This feature doesn't seem to be documented anywhere. There is a stub for it in the handbook, but it is yet empty. I notice that there is an rpc.rquotad available under 2.2-BETA, but not under 2.1.5. Maybe this is all that is needed? I'm not clear on where quota's get implemented on a distributed file system. Are they implemented only on the server after all? Does an over quota client just get write errors? Without the rpc.rquotad, the user cannot run the quota command and find out what is happening. Thanks! ---Scott Halbert Thunder Network Technologies, Inc.
