The question is not how to create quotas for users. The question is how to create reservations for users.
One way to create a reservation for a user is to create a quota for everyone else, but that's a little less manageable, so a reservation per-user would be cleaner and more desirable.

Is this possible? OpenSolaris's zfs has supported quotas for a little while, so make sure you're using a recent build. I'm not sure if it's in Solaris 10, but I believe it is. Before quotas were supported, the answer was to create a new dataset per user, eg: tank/home/user1, tank/home/user2, etc. It's easy to do in zfs, but it doesn't always work for storage that is shared between users. -B -- Brandon High : bh...@freaks.com
