Our problem is that it displays too much. We automount each user's home directory. Since we want to permit them to write into each others directory we have quotas on the qtree housing users' directories. Unfortunately that file system is mounted once for every user :(((((((((. Running quota -v displays data related to every home directory mounted on the box. Unfortunately, it appears that Sun does not support the automounter ":" path option in Solaris 2.6 which would fix the problem.
How about just mounting the filesystems noquota? The filer won't care.
We automount each users home directory because we want to have a data location independent pathing, i.e. /home/tkaczma instead of /home/filer2/tkaczma. This prevents a lot of headaches when users' directories are moved for some reason, like due to disaster recovery or some migration.
You might consider using symlinks instead.

Yeah, we thought of that, but that defeats using quota -v altogether, doesn't it? (I can't tell you how good that solution is beginning to look.) We could also write a wrapper around quota -v.

Ughhhh, that's an even bigger ugliness than we have. The problem is that we have several thousand users and couple thousand machines. I'm afraid links are out of the question.
