Here's how to do the tracking-only trees
(from our active quota file). Enabling it causes no problems. We
actually turn on certain tracking quotas in the middle of the day from
time to time.

The output of the quota report will
look like the following. Notice that the "limit" fields
for all quotas are "-" indicating no limit. However, it
does give size and number of files (which we find useful)

i looked at the man page and there are no hints about how
to add an empty quota. i don't want to enable quotas and
suddenly put everyone in outage because i don't know the
right syntax. may i ask toasters for an example command,
please? i'll try it first on a less-busy qtree, and if all goes
well, will do it everywhere.
btw, i received the private suggestion of running a df from
inside a snapshot for counting space used. it was such
a good idea i wanted to share it. of course, that's not a
proper way to monitor usage on a filer, but it got my doc
effort off the ground this morning. thank you, toasters. :)
