quotas has me stumped

The user quota is per user and file system, the file is allway 
counted with its owner. So you may seperte [homes] and the group 
share to different disks with different quotas. I have quotas only on 
[homes] and check the disk space usage in the projects share 
manually. But you may look at group quota for this. With group quotas 
(I don't use them may self) the quota is counted and checkt with the 
group a file belongs to.
