See Jon's message, attached. I wanted to forward this to Kakapo so we
can discuss it at our next meeting, and also to put it in front of eyes
that have a better idea of what can be done in win.mit.edu machines and
how much effort it would be.
Thanks,
Oliver

We have a user in OLC who was writing a document in Word, went over
quota (we're still getting details), and now gets an error attempting
to open the file. Camilla is doing a restore from backup to see if
that helps, but is there any good way to notify users that Windows
deals poorly with going over AFS quota? In particular, Office
applications will croak if there's nowhere to save the data.
Perhaps something like the Mozilla message on Athena, which warns you
if you're within 10% of quota. Something that would be really cool
would be an application in the System Tray that every 5 mins runs "fs
lq" on your home directory, and pops up a message if you go over
quota (ie: you accidentally download a huge file onto your Desktop)
warning you to temporarily save any files to local disk and get back
under quota.
