In 6.1, there is a threshold field in /etc/quotas that can be used. If a write goes over the threshold it logs a message to the filer. So for example you could do:
/vol/vol0/mytree tree 50GB - 45GB
Now after 45GB you will see messages in the /etc/messages file.
It may not be exactly what you want, but it's a start. I'll admit I haven't played with this extensively yet, but it's there and may be worth investigating.

Here is the script I wrote and use to email me, senior admins, helpdesk, and the user responsible for that section. It will also include first level subdirectories and their size in KB, MB, or GB makes it user friendly, some users have problems figuring out the numbers.
I left the name of my filer, cosmos, only as an example. Feel free to use it, at your own risk of course, but will be happy to answer any questions.
for the email portion at the bottom of the script I had to leave out the email names, but its simple to configure.
hope this helps
Steven

If you're willing to share the script, we could make it available on the NOW site. ...Tim...

I wrote a script, on a Unix client, that looks at each tree in the /etc/quotas file. If the tree is within 90% of the three it then sends an email the user who is responsible for the tree, our helpdesk, and senior admins. The file that I email also includes the sub directories of that tree so the user can get an idea of were he might be able to cleanup data. My scripts run once an hour mon-fri.
