No replies TEMBEL::STEERB20 14 lines 20-AUG-1991 14:55 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How is this for a silly question. I have become confused how many bytes there are in a "block" under Ultrix. In the doco, when DEC talk about the actual disk devices a block is 512 bytes. However, what is the block refered to when you use edquota? I thought (and in the moment I had to experiment I believed I had confirmed that edquota's block was 1024 bytes). Now, one of my people I have left at home tell me they spoke with one of our software guys at DEC and he reckons it is 512bytes... OK, its a silly question...but I cant seem to find an answer that satisfies me... Bevin Steer, Uni of SA.
