Folder Size Limits

[Powermaster]

Is there a way to limit the maximum size that a folder may reach?

I am looking to make it so that a folder's contents may not get bigger then lets say 25mb.

If there a way to do this?

Thanks for your help.

I don't see a way to do that cleanly. The two things that come to mind are folder actions, which I don't believe exist in OS X, and a cron script. du -sk /path/to/folder | homebrew_alert_script.pl

again, yuck. good luck. Quota enforcement exists, but is all sorts of not configured. I've never gotten it to do what I want

You could create a 25MB drive image and have whatever process write to /Volumes/driveimage as a possible workaround.

There are disk quotas and user quotas if you are running OS X Server 10.2.X
