Hello Adam, thank you for your reply, I hope you do not mind I am sending your personal reply to the cooker list too ;) - I think "quota enabling" is important enough to be discussed - even when it's obviousley not possible (why not??) to enable this service with mdk 8.2...

The last idea I was thinking about this issue: does quota - in combination with mdk - only work on some special formatted file systems (such as reiser, ...) > nothing to offer about quotas on mdk - sorry. > > -- > Adam Wolter > Office of Technical Services (OTS) > for > Film Media & Cultural Studies (FMC) > GRIFFITH UNIVERSITY. > > 'phone - +61 7 387 57940 > FAX - +61 7 387 53994 > [EMAIL PROTECTED] Greetings Harald -- Best regards Harald T Zipko [EMAIL PROTECTED] No html-mails please!
