Galen,

Does your output look like this?

 Yep…solaris and OSX use the same commands for local filesystem quotas.
There's a wrapper script for 'repquota -av' that needs to be tweaked to work
correctly that we may be able to modify…I need to do this for another
environment so I may get to it this weekend or next week.


For your info, NetApp is basically a standalone nfs server (of cifs if you
want to add windows mounts as well).

I am using "linux quotas" on Centos 5.1 (a RHEL derivative).

I've never heard of NetApp.  The command I'm using to check the quotas are
edquota and repquota.  I had to stick in the quota options in /etc/fstab
too.  Does this help confirm I'm using the right quotas?

Here is what the RPM says:

Name   : quota
Arch   : i386
Epoch  : 1
Version: 3.13
Release: 1.2.3.2.el5
Size   : 783 k
Repo   : installed
Summary: System administration tools for monitoring users' disk usage.

Description:
The quota package contains system administration tools for monitoring
and limiting user and or group disk usage per filesystem.

There's actually a better netapp monitoring tool for Hobbit (which I think
works for BB as well).  I've found several snippets of various commands and
perl scripts that could probably be cobbled together into a decent monitor.

 Unfortunatley, you didn't…I do recall seeing one but now I don't recall
where.


You may be thinking of this:

     http://support.bb4.com/archive/200009/msg00877.html

which uses rsh to get disk usage/quota from NetApp fileservers.

Dunno if that helps, but it might give you a place to start.  How does the
system tell you the users are exceeding their quotas??
