hi,

I have installed samba on our pretty old J40 to serve as a file server. I have implemented quota per user. For testing, I set my quota to 200KB then tried to copy a 230KB file to my directory. Naturally the system prompts I have exceeded my quota and terminates the copy. I checked my directory "ls -l filename", the file exists with a file size of 230KB but "du -sk filename" says 197KB. I know the file was not copied successfully, so I need to know how to make AIX or are their any quota options to not save unsuccessful copies or at least automatically remove or delete the files that are not copied sucessfully due to quota being exeeded.

This concerns me, since it will give the users the impression that they have saved their files/data successfully, basing from its file size from "ls -l", eventhough they have reach their quota.

Thank you in advance.
