Alessandra, if you rewrite the SE info provider with one using quotas I am
sure many people will be grateful. It has to be group quotas as an SA is
associated with a VO.
I would be surprised if there were many serious SEs with only one disk
though, but there may be many with RAID arrays which only have one partition
across many disks.
