So you could create a group named "legal", then "chgrp -R legal /mnt/docs/legal", and run "edquota -g legal" to set a 50GB quota on files in the "legal" group. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/quotas.html describes how to set up the system to enable quotas. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com
