+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #395301 +++ From the warnquota man page: warnquota checks the disk quota for each filesystem and mails a warning message to those users who have reached their softlimit. This however does not work for nfs based mounts using quotas. This was reported by a customer. The support for NFS is disabled in the warnquota code. To confirm this, I posted a note to the forum on the quota sourceforge.net page and got the confirmation that it is not supported over NFS and no plans exist currently to add support. http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1870399&forum_id=57476 A change instead was made to the warnquota man page to make it clear that warnquota works only for local filesystems. http://linuxquota.cvs.sourceforge.net/linuxquota/quota-tools/warnquota.8?r1=1.9&r2=1.10 Can engineering please change the man page to make it clear that the warnquota utility only works for local filesystems. --- Additional comment from ovasik on 2010-03-19 10:30:02 EDT --- easyfix, just manpage change/clarification.
