Hi!

One annoying problem with the windows client:
It seems not to pass the quota to the filemamagers.
E.G.: user a tries to write a 1 GB file to a volume with 400 MB quota.
User tries to use totalcommander or xplorer2. After it has copied 400 MB
the software shows "transfered 400 MB, 600 MB to go at XYZ MB/sec".
The first 400 MB it shows a sustained rate about 3-5 MB/sec. But if the
quota is reached it drops down to 0 kb/sec and it waits and waits and
waits... Still after some hour it shows up "copy file".
Why can't it be so "intelligent" to tell the user "quota is reached, no
more space on HD" ?

I got the error reports from the users "OpenAFS is buggy, it doesn't
work" - just because the quota was reached and NO suitable warning appear=
ed.
Client: 1.4.0 final.

Cya
