O.K. This makes sens to me. Otherwise I'd like to see quotas per
tablespace. As far as I got it, a tablespace may grow in size untile the
volume is full. Here a grace quota might be usefull as well. Let's say a
5% threshold like the ext filesystem as an default for generating a
warning to th elogs files letting the admin extend the volum(s) by time.
