Normally, quotas work on a per-user, per-filesystem basis - so if a user has a home directory and other processes _not owned by that user_ are placing files and using up space into that directory, it will not count toward the quota (unless they get chowned/chgrpd to that user/group).
Is there any way to enforce a quota on a directory, regardless of what ownership or group ownership the files and dirs inside the directory - that is to say, take directory X, located at an arbitrary spot on the system, I want it to grow no larger than size Y. I know this can be done by creating a lot of little partitions - maybe even vn-backed parttion-on-file, but that seems like a hack, as they would be hard to resize. I am looking for a way to force a changeable quota on a directory, regardless of what gets put in it, or who owns what gets put in it. Any hacks/asuggestions/comments of any kind are very appreciated. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
