We're running 4.2a on a F630.
It would be nice if "quota resize" would work when you add a new entry to the /etc/quotas file when you have a default quota.
In other words, if /etc/quotas has a default quota entry and a user has no entry in /etc/quotas, he gets the default quota. The netapp keeps track of his disk consumption and even "quota report" lists the user. But if I add a new entry to /etc/quotas to give this user a new quota, "quota resize" ignores it. I don't think it would be very hard for "quota resize" to work in this case. Would it?
I can see a problem if the netapp does not keep track of the disk consumption of users who have no quota. Then adding a new entry to /etc/quotas would require the netapp to compute the user's disk usage on the fly. This would be about as expensive as a complete "quota on". But when you have a default quota, every user has a quota, so this isn't a problem.
At the very least, I think "quota resize" should work for every user whose disk consumption is currently limited by a quota, even those with the default quota. Likewise, it would be nice to be able to delete a line from the file and have the user revert to the default quota after a "quota resize". (The latter may already work; I haven't tested it.)
