How many lines can I have in /etc/quotas? Is it limited by memory or CPU? Is there a performance hit the more quotas I apply? I may have need for 2000+ user quota entries on an F210 with 256MB read cache.

It must take some memory, but if the data structures are compact, it shouldn't be too much. Using default quotas (see below) makes maintaining /etc/quotas easier, but I doubt it does much to reduce memory usage.

# Quota Target type disk files # ------------- ----- ---- ----- /home tree 80G * user@home 10G
