Is anyone familiar with a disk quota system for the Apollo?
We will begin to charge users for disk space and would like
to enforce a disk quota cap on them. This disk quota can
be of two types; overall or per disk.
I believe that the VAX/VMS disk quota is per disk. This means
that a user cannot store to a disk that he/she does not have
quota on.

Louis McDonald asks about a disk quota system for the Apollos. The only one I've seen in Christa Decker's "Guerrilla Approach for Disk Space Limitation" (or some very similar title). It should appear in the ADUS Free Software Library. It actually fails to prohibit excessive usage of the disk, but if a quota is exceeded overnight, the user is restricted to deletion rights until he or she gets back under quota. It is a fantastic kludge, but bizarre enough that Christa was able to use it in a teaching & research lab at Bucknell for several years. -Chris Christopher E.
