This raises an important question: what to do if one uses HAMMER on a
multi user box? It should be possible for a malicious user to fill up
his $HOME on the /home PFS and thus blow the fs up, or? Correct me if
I'm wrong. If I'm right what is the policy for admins using HAMMER on a
machine with a lot of user shells?

PS: Someone interested to hack quota support for HAMMER? :)
