Add quota support on Mac OS X
Authored by: designr on Aug 12, '03 01:23:35PM

Question:

Can this technique be used on OS X Server 10.2.x?

Is it safe?

Are there any pitfalls?

What happens when OS X Server 10.3 is released?

thanks in advance,
-designr

Add quota support on Mac OS X
Authored by: XSage on Aug 13, '03 01:02:48AM
Looking at this timeline, seems Darwin 6, Mac OS X 10.2 and OS X Server 10.2 are all the same at the unix level. In principle you wouldn't think quota stuff would be a problem. But if that's not enough a quick google shows someone in omnigroup doing this same stuff with OS X Server three years ago. As for Panther I'm assuming it's still going to work, but then again, apple has done things like break wget... but I don't think this will be the case.

Quota support native to OS X Server

OS X Server v10.2 has a GUI for setting per-user disk quotas. I'm sure the GUI is just a front-end for the commandline tools, like the firewall GUI for ipfw.
