But...I think the question that Brian is asking is will the NFS server allow a quota'd file system to be written to if the quota is exceeded. I believe that if quotas are established for the local file system, it would make sense that if a remote system, via the nfsd daemon, were to try to write to that file system, some sort of error should be returned, even if it were something so stupid as "permission denied"... Guess there is one way to find out...I'll go try it out and report back to the list as soon as I find out either way... Marc G.
