The setup is as follows: The server, the_server, is running FreeBSD and has the filesystem /foo mounted with the following fstab entry /dev/sd0a /foo ufs rw,userquota 1 1 The clients are also running FreeBSD and have the filesystem /bar mounted with the following fstab entry the_server:/foo /bar nfs rw 0 0 The quotas work alright on the server, but we can't get the clients to report on quotas. The server stops the users exceeding the hard limit on the clients but it does not warn when the soft limit is exceeded. Also, when they use the command "quota -v fred" then it says that there are no quotas on the system. Does anyone have any idea how to get the quotas working properly on the clients? Thanks in advance. Hans Andersen, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia.
