Yep...solaris and OSX use the same commands for local filesystem quotas. There's a wrapper script for 'repquota -av' that needs to be tweaked to work correctly that we may be able to modify...I need to do this for another environment so I may get to it this weekend or next week.
For your info, NetApp is basically a standalone nfs server (of cifs if you want to add windows mounts as well).

I am using "linux quotas" on Centos 5.1 (a RHEL derivative).
I've never heard of NetApp. The command I'm using to check the quotas are edquota and repquota. I had to stick in the quota options in /etc/fstab too. Does this help confirm I'm using the right quotas?
Here is what the RPM says:
Name : quota Arch : i386 Epoch : 1 Version: 3.13 Release: 1.2.3.2.el5 Size : 783 k Repo : installed Summary: System administration tools for monitoring users' disk usage.
Description: The quota package contains system administration tools for monitoring and limiting user and or group disk usage per filesystem.

There's actually a better netapp monitoring tool for Hobbit (which I think works for BB as well). I've found several snippets of various commands and perl scripts that could probably be cobbled together into a decent monitor.

Unfortunatley, you didn't...I do recall seeing one but now Idon't recall where.
You may be thinking of this:
http://support.bb4.com/archive/200009/msg00877.html which uses rsh to get disk usage/quota from NetApp fileservers.
Dunno if that helps, but it might give you a place to start. How does the system tell you the users are exceeding their quotas??
