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?
I was briefly on the team responsible for managing
these quotas for a
show and it was seriously an around the clock operation to keep our disks
from filling up. One of the tricks was to figure out how much space a
rendered sequence of images would consume, factor in the time-to-render
a frame and attempt to line up your backup jobs to free up enough space
so the render nodes could write out the images to NFS.
Intriguing.
Thank you for sharing.
