The open, openx, creat, rename, link, mkdir, symlink, mknod, mkfifo
routines all come up under an info search for quota. All the ones I've
looked at return EDQUOT on exceeding quota !!!.  Since you've 
confirmed our suspicions that quotas do not exist it would be
interesting to find out where the EDQUOT hangover is from :-)
