Quotas can be applied either to an entire volume, or to qtrees within that
volume. If a user exceeds either of these, the write will be denied. If
you want to allow users to write more data to a qtree that would exceed
their quota for the volume, you'll need to use a different volume for the
qtree. Or to change the existing user quota to one that applies to a qtree
instead of the whole volume.
Of course, this also applies to group quotas.

Hi!
I had the same issue a fw weeks ago. The key factor is how you have set the
users quota's up. There are several caragories of quota I believe. If you
have given each user a quoa, with the quota type user then anything they
write, any where on the filer will be subtracted from thier quota. This is
how I understand it, but I may be wrong...
A way to get round this would be to give everyone a root account, but this
is a bit dodgy as far as security goes...

Subject: quota limits
Hi!
My problem is that I have set up quotas for my users on F740 running Ontap
5.3.6r2.
They each have 200Mb. But four users that work on a special project have
extra space of 2Gb. I've set up a qtree with limit of 2Gb. But when the four
users start to write, they hit their personal limits.
Is there a work around?
