Quotas on MBL

[#1]

Hi, I understand that quotas on shares aren't currently available on the MBL, but does anyone know if there are any plans to allow this in future software releases?

The reason I ask is that I'd love to replace using my Time Capsule for TM backups, but don't want TM to effectively hog the space on my MBL, hence the desire for quotas.

Btw, isn't it about time WD made smartware perform similarly on a mac to a windows machine, as it's basically non-existent for the mac, and despite the software initially installing an icon into my macs' status bar, that has now disappeared and I can't find it on my system to put it back - I've tried reinstalling it from the dvd but the system won't let me as it says it's already installed.

Cheers

Rick

I don't know about SmartWare, as I am a new WD user, but I definitely agree with the quotas.  I want to be able to control the space allocated to users of my NAS and I want to control the space taken up by my TimeMachine backups.

Thanks for the suggestion. I believe this has already been suggested here before and in the forums.
