Bug number 47718: The limit maybe 4G, but most computers have far bigger harddisk now, and it only needs a few large files, to exceed the 4G limit, especially if it is a group quota. This bug is very annoying since it is difficult to run a group quota on my systems. There is a bug fix for this problem which was reported in another bug report number 39249 in July 1999, which I mentioned in a bug report update. I have noticed that the bug has been marked as "fixed" yesterday. However a new version of the quota package, does not seem to have been uploaded. So how can a bug-report be marked as "fixed" if it isn't. I'd understand if it severity was de-classified to a lower severity. -- Dr. Peter Cherriman EMAIL : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Communications Group WWW : http://www-mobile.ecs.soton.ac.uk/peter Dept. of Electronics and Computer Science University of Southampton, United Kingdom
