it was a mix, $HOME was tied to a specific UID.
for show data we leveraged per-volume quotas. our directory structure
was setup in such a way that a a path would be a series of symlinks
pointing for specific NFS volumes. so /shot/sequence/render for example
could reference multiple volumes. /shot/sequence would live on a
separate filer than "render". we could also move around where
"render"
would live and not have to worry about creating orphan paths and such.
this was a common practice to manage hotspots, or for maint windows etc.
the net result was we used a mix of volume quotas that netapp managed in
addition to higher level shot/show quotas which were calculated out of
band by some in-house services.

An individual user was given something like 1GB
by default (here they
had their mailbox, source-code, scripts etc), then the show they were
booked on was then given an allocation of say 1TB of storage.
It sounds like you are talking about group quotas in addition to each
individual user's /user/ quota. Is that correct? Or was this more an
imposed file system limit in lieu of group quotas?
