[AusNOG] retroactively implementing file share quotas - eep :-p

[Cockayne, Haydn]

We've just done the same thing, added a couple of QNAP TS-879U-RP full of 3TB WD Reds. NFS Shared to our ESXi environment, very impressed with performance. We're using Veeam to do replication between two of them.

+2 to that. And especially with iSCSI the users won't notice any performance issues.

Aren't you better off dropping $1,500 on a Synology/Netgear NAS with a bunch of  RAID5/6 7500RPM 2.5TB SATA3's in it and just giving them 7TB to duke it out over? Surely spending a couple of days screwing about squabbling over a couple of TB is more costly than just buying some storage.

+1 to that.  No matter what the scale, i've always found buying more storage cheaper than managing existing storage.  (I'm sure there are issues at the very high end, but most of us don't have to worry about that.)
