How about on the systems with the big arrays you were talking about ? Or do you not bother with a large maxdsiz there since you don't bother with fsck anyway ? > > Ok, but all of the CLI tools (edquota, repquota, > > quota, quotacheck, quotaon) are all known-good for > > "bigdisk" ? > > > > And there is no known "quotas just don't work with > > bigdisk" problems ? > > > > I was hoping someone out there was running quotas > with > > 6.1-RELEASE on a >2TB filesystem and could report > favorably... > > I'm not certain.

Yes, I was hoping Kris would respond to this thread and give a thumbs up or down on quotas in 6.1-RELEASE for >2TB disks. They work great with my 2 TB arrays, but I need to go bigger now, and I don't know that I can wait for 6.2-RELEASE to arrive... I do not run snapshots in any form, and do not do background fsck.
