2.2-CURRENT says the same thing still as well...
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...
