Slightly off the subject but FWIW, I used to have diskspace restrictions 
on for all users but it turned out to be an administrative headache.  
The message users got on reaching the limit was 'Fileserver disk full' 
which was confusing to say the least.  Secondly, we have users working 
in groups.  When one user decides to re-organise the group work area on 
the server by creating a new directory structure and moving files, that 
user became the owner of all the files, exceeding the diskspace limits.
