Re: [cobalt-users] [Raq4] nonsensical disk quotas

Anyone have any comments on this email my Raq sent me? The site has a 50Mb
quota and one user (a site admin) also with a 50Mb quota. The whole site is
about 10.5Mb. I checked the disk usage under System Status and a couple of
sites have red dots to them, but their usage graphs indicate sub-50% usage.
Some of the more recent sites I've set up, including the one below, even say
'Unlimited' under the Allowed Mb!

And of course the Active Monitor light is still flashing, as it has been

My question is who says that setting the Quota Limit to "0" makes it unlimited. I find nothing in the manual to that nature. I have read others questions that are basically the same as yours. It appears that the minimum figure a person can put in the quota field is "1" and if a number is smaller than that it defaults to "1" as it has in your case. You are at 94% of 1 MB. I searched the archives as well as my manual and I see nothing saying that setting the Quota to zero makes it unlimited. I have seen this in the past elsewhere (not on Cobalt) but it was specifically done by the programmer on the system I was working with.
