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??
