I believe this a problem on AIX only. I'd be interested to know if anybody
tried the '-m' option on 'fileserver' and if it does the job. The
documentation speaks about 'quota', which is something which I do not 
understand in that context.

If yes, what is a safe value? 5%? 1% (that's still megabytes!)? 

If not, who actually would suffer and when? From Transarc I heard 
that the only real problem is salvaging.
