I remember reading in some of the BSD documentation that disk quotas
were somewhat buggy.  What is the state of disk quotas in FreeBSD 2.1?
Are they safe/reliable to use?  I've searched the FAQs that I could
find for info on them but found nothing.

Also, do quotas work over NFS?

Is there a way to do a "global" quota, or only on a disk by disk
basis?

Thanks

P.S. any development going on with the Log File System?
