IN 6.1 , we have added support for user quotas based on Windows IDs, so your interpretation is correct.

from my 6.01 doc:
About quota targets A quota target can be A user A group A qtree When applying user and group quotas, Data ONTAP identifies users and groups by UNIX user names (or UIDs) and group names (or GIDs). It does not apply quotas based on Windows SIDs. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
from the 6.1 doc: A quota target can be A user, as represented by a UNIX ID or a Windows ID.
we want quotas based on windows id at the qtree level. am i misunderstanding the doc?

No, it doesn't. Quotas are fully implemented in 5.x
However, a difference you'll see is that NT users see the most restrictive quota as the "disk size" on 6.1.x, whereas the reported disk size on 5.x is the Netapp volume size.
We had wonderful problems with corruption of NT roaming profiles with small quotas under 5.3.6, because NT seems to ignore write errors when saving the profile; it just silently corrupts them. Lovely OS, really.
