Hi, It's not really a problem but rather, a few questions here. I have enabled quotas for the filesystem /usr for individual users, will this in turn restrict the amount of disk space in their home directories that they can consume ? The FreeBSD Handbook mentioned that we can implement quotas by blocks. How big is the size of a block in MB or bytes ? Thanks.
