CentOS - Oct 2009 - sum and limit quota for multiple filesystems/mountpoints

Hi,

is there any way to sum and limit quotas for one user across multiple
filesystems?

E.g. I'd like to use different mountpoints on a mailserver for /var/mail
and /home but the user should have only a total of 1GB.

or on a samba server the windows profile files should be on an other
filesystem as other files for that user.


Regards,

	G?tz

There is no such functionality in quota. What you could do is to update the 
2nd filesystems quota setting, on a regular basis, to something like TOTAL 
minus currently used on the 1st fs.

This surely qualifies as a "duct tape solution".
