You get '1K-blocks' if you have your 'BLOCKSIZE' varaible set to 'k.' Here is my output, [103:~] unsetenv BLOCKSIZE [104:~] df Filesystem 512-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/wd0s2a 196958 34886 146316 19% / /dev/wd0s2f 8946500 3545268 4685512 43% /usr /dev/wd0s2e 2383390 1838546 354174 84% /var procfs 8 8 0 100% /proc /dev/wd0s1 3992288 2100296 1891992 53% /mnt/c [105:~] setenv BLOCKSIZE k [106:~] df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/wd0s2a 98479 17443 73158 19% / /dev/wd0s2f 4473250 1772634 2342756 43% /usr /dev/wd0s2e 1191695 919273 177087 84% /var procfs 4 4 0 100% /proc /dev/wd0s1 1996144 1050148 945996 53% /mnt/c > When I set up my quotas I would > give everyone 5000 blocks, which I thought roughly > translated in 5 MB.

Assuming a user has all or the vast majority of his files in his home directory, [107:~] du -s ~user Will give the usage in 512-blocks (or 1k-blocks if you have BLOCKSIZE set to 'k'). Then compare that to, [108:~] quota -vu user Which also prints usage and quotas. I wonder if 'quota' is affected by 'BLOCKSIZE.' I'd try this out, but I do not have quotas set up on my personal machine here. -- Crist J.
