Volume Quotas

[FC]

I know that the quotas assigned in a NTFS Volume are
individually assigned to each user on the network. Could
be a way to assign a general quota on a volume ? ... I
mean, the quotas on windows 2000 are "user based" where
the system assigns a disk space limit to each user, but I
need to know if this assignment could be general, so the
OS only checks the space used on the volume and warns or
blocks the access when the volume quota is reached.

Thanks,

Yes you can do that.
If you right click on the volume under consideration in the explorer and
bring up the "Quotas" tab - you will see an entry in there that allows you
to limit the disk space used and also set warning levels.

Uh... Vishal those two entries you mention are only the defaults for new
users of the volume, as the interface itself clearly states.

What I believe FC wants is the ability to basically start issuing warnings
when the volume reaches a certain level of use, regardless of how much any
particular user has used. I'm thinking I remember something like that in
the Alert capabilities. Yes, no?
