Disc Quotas

[Art Zemon]

My thanks to all of you who responded to my request for
information on the 4.2BSD disc quota subsystem.  All of the
reactions were of two types:

System Admininstrators:
    It works well.  Only one bug is known and a fix was
    posted to the net.  You cannot set a quota on a user
    who is currently logged in (or just logged out) and who
    does not currently have any quota at all.  It is OK to
    modify existing quotas while a user is logged in.

Users:
    It is a pain in the butt.  Disc quotas work and there
    was no discussion indicating any known ways to
    circumvent them.  The only serious inconvenience seems
    to be the following: If you exceed your quota and Unix
    refuses to let you make more files then you must remove
    files to get below quota and then log back in for Unix
    to notice your new status.

Again, thanks to all of you who responded.
