I understand hard linked files are a logical problem for applying tree quotas. However, I don't think such a problem should kill the whole implementation! I'm happy with any solution, even if counting the file multiple times was picked as the conservative solution. Who uses hard links that much anyway. I hope that's not the only thing stopping a tree quotas implementation
What OS do you have that has quotas on anything other than the filesystem? I don't see such on Tru64 5.1B or Solaris 9.
