SUMMARY: Quota at directory level

So far responses have been sort of what I expected. Ufs & vxfs
limited...use zfs for this.

I should've noted that I did push for using zfs & creating FS per domain
as quotas are nice & easy in that world.
Not so many domains per box that would rule out 1 vxvol/vxfs per domain
either, but my mgr is not liking that approach too much...

Thanks for the feedback.
I'll update if I get any new suggestions or ideas.

You can't do it via ufs quotas, those are done on the partition level..
you could fine tune ZFS to do it for you though.
