From looking at the situation, it seems that we should be able to run an RPC
program that talks to the NetApp and tells us the quota. We just didn't want to have the program if we could avoid it. We're also a bit concerned that the kernel may restrict what we're trying to do. We haven't looked far enough into things to know if that's a real problem.
Have you looked to see if there is an SNMP variable/array which might have the quota information you want? The NetApp MIB implies that the information is there.
