On second read it sounds like I'm trying to sell you this utility. Sorry - hope it wasn't received as such. This utility is a free download on the NOW site. Joe

Check out NOW. In the software downloads section there is a page for tools and utilities downloads where you can find one called Filer Quota Notifier (disk_usage), which has the following description: "This Perl script looks at user disk quotas and automatically sends email to users (or to the administrator) when their quotas are within some threshold of being exceeded. Use with Solaris and perhaps other versions of Unix." I'm not a filer admin, just an interested reseller, so I can't vouch for this utility personally. Perhaps one of the other folks on this list can tell you from their own experience. Officially it's recommended by NetApp but not supported by them.

I am looking for a tool to send alerts in the form of email or NT alerts when a Qtree reaches some threshold or percentage (say 80%) of it's quota. I want to be able to extract or construct the alert only for certain Qtrees. Our Qtree naming standard makes it simple to identify an NTFS Qtree.

I've thought about automatically generating the Qtree report and writing a tool to parse the information out of the report and generate any alerts needed.

Any tools or suggestions are welcome.

Thanks.
