Hello Managers,
First of hall my special thanks to:
Matthias Dolder.
Rochelle Lauer.
Dr. Thomas Blinn.
The general concensus is that:
The (unofficial) release date it will be somewhere in July and that user
and group quotas will be supported, with Trucluster and CFS.
The original question and full replies are below.

Hi
I don't think there is an official release date. July is what I heard
There ARE user and group quotas. I tested this feature during field
test
and it appears to work fine. There are some minor discrepencies
in the implementation (quotas wont match exactly).

No one who reads this list is authorized to give you an official answer.
The earliest release date for Tru64 UNIX V5.1A will be in July, 2001.
What is "CFS"? Not part of the base Tru64 UNIX operating system, right?
Do you mean "will user and group quotas be supported in the cluster file
system by the TruCluster Server V5.1A product?" As far as I know, the
answer is "yes" but that's just a guess. If they're not working in the
current (V5.1) product, that would be a bug, not a design feature; the
cluster file system is SUPPOSED to implement all the local file system
semantics, distributed in a cluster. Many people would argue that the
user and group quotas have never really worked correctly in the AdvFS
file system, which is the base for the cluster wide file system, so if
you are having problems, don't assume it's a cluster file system bug.
