 * Comment. It is trivial to find sources to verify the facts of this article; just look at any UNIX manual. The article doesn't completely lack in context either, as it links to the articles on disk quota, which is the context. However, I'm not convinced that an article on the grace period itself is needed when the concept is already covered in the article on disk quotas. --Itub (talk) 09:39, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete This article only describes the grace period associated with disk quotas, but not say, the one specified by the -g flag of the Solaris shutdown command, or the lockd grace period. This could be attributed to the fact that it is OR. William Avery (talk) 07:44, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
