Disk quote is an artificial limit. If you remind each and every other time this discussion came up, you *can* set artificial memory limits, and that won't cause applications to be killed. But, of course, this particular solution you do not accept. Anyway, these are two very different situations, and comparing them is silly. If you want non-overcommit, code it and send the patches. -- Daniel C. Sobral (8-DCS) dcs@newsguy.com dcs@freebsd.org capo@kzinti.bsdconspiracy.net Acabou o hipismo-arte.
