one of my clients just encountered a strange problem. it's strange to me or it can be normal since i didnt know what was happening.

anyway, i added a domain, with "50 megs on home." i added one user and put his limit as 10 megs and made him siteadmin. what i thought was that the 10 meg limit was imposed on his users directory. being he is a siteadmin, he should be able to use the rest of the 40 megs in the /web directory with no problem. what he encounted was that after uploading a bunch of files, i got an email saying he was over quota, 100% of 10 megabytes. I checked his user dir and nothing was there. Everything was in the /web dir. What I concluded was that I should just bump his user quota to the full 50 megs so he can continue.

Is this what's supposed to happen? so let's say i gave him 3 users, 1 being siteadmin. if he assigns each of the other 2 users with 10 mb quota, he should then assign himself the remaining 30 megs right? because if he assigns himself full 50 and uses it all, his other 2 users will have nothing...

Now, I'm not sure, but it sounds like although nothing was in his user directory, the files were uploaded into his web directory, not the site's web direcory?

I would tink it odd that if he uploaded into the site's web directory that he would have gone over the quota???

i did an ls in his user directory even the web and there was nothing there. i checked the main web dir for the site and everything was there. i asked him if he "cd /web" and he said yes. very strange problem. i'll try to replicate it tomorrow or something.
