More fun with user based quotas. When a user has a mapped CIFS share to their home drive the size of the entire volume shows up when they map the drive. I thought user quotas used to just show the "quotaed" space for that user.
I.E. I have a 11TB volume. I create a user quota of 500MB and apply it to a user (say xyz99). When XYZ99's home share is mapped they see 11TB available to them, not 500MB. A tree based quota with a hard limit works just fine in showing only 500MB available.
I've worked with Netapp support and did get an obscure bug (88541 http://now.netapp.com/NOW/cgi-bin/bol?Type=Detail&Display=88541 ) that has no information and a reply that there isn't much information on this issue. (Maybe the functionality just isn't there? I could swear we used to have that function.)
Does anyone use user quotas and have this same problem?
Are there better ways to do user home share type CIFS shares?
Thanks lock
