I'm sure this has been brought up before but searching the archives
for 'limit' or 'overflow' results in no matches. Nor can I find
anything on the site.
I have 4 x 250GB drives running RAID5 (~750GB usable - dedicated to
boxbackup). I'm trying to create my first account which will be used
on a client with 350GB of storage. It seems that any limits larger
than 120GB or so result in an overflow. I was completely unable to set
a soft of 350GB and a hard of 400GB as the overflow for the hard was
*less* than the soft limit. Any ideas on a workaround? Here's some
output:
