Hi!

I had the same issue a fw weeks ago. The key factor is how you have set the users quota's up. There are several caragories of quota I believe. If you have given each user a quoa, with the quota type user then anything they write, any where on the filer will be subtracted from thier quota. This is how I understand it, but I may be wrong...

A way to get round this would be to give everyone a root account, but this is a bit dodgy as far as security goes...

Hi!

My problem is that I have set up quotas for my users on F740 running Ontap 5.3.6r2. They each have 200Mb. But four users that work on a special project have extra space of 2Gb. I've set up a qtree with limit of 2Gb. But when the four users start to write, they hit their personal limits.

Is there a work around?
