X11 comes up on this list now and then. I'm often tempted to describe our
site's approach and will do so now it case it help others (or someone wants to
say why it is a terrible approach).
First some preamble:

Hello all,
I write to this list in order to see if some can provide some
clarification about what I see as an inconsistency between reservations,
accounting, and the output provided by sreport(most probably I’m missing
something).
I define my test:

Hi Chris,
I actually had the same idea concerning XFS project quotas when I came
across that private-tmp SPANK plugin recently. Haven't had the
opportunity to make a test implementation yet, though.

think it's an unusual situation. I have, in likewise roughtly 15 years
