That's encouraging. What do you have your
kern.maxdsiz set to ? 1024000000 ?
How about on the systems with the big arrays you were
talking about ? Or do you not bother with a large
maxdsiz there since you don't bother with fsck anyway
?

Yes, I was hoping Kris would respond to this thread
and give a thumbs up or down on quotas in 6.1-RELEASE
for >2TB disks. They work great with my 2 TB arrays,
but I need to go bigger now, and I don't know that I
can wait for 6.2-RELEASE to arrive...
I do not run snapshots in any form, and do not do
background fsck.
Thanks!
