In Linux/Solaris,
how do you monitor if someone creates a huge file (let'say > 100 GB) in NFS?
TIA

Give them a 99 GB quota, then wait for the complaint notification.

Since it's on NFS, any monitoring would have to happen on the server that's
exporting the filesystem. Use whatever method you use for monitoring--nagios,
icinga, or a cron checking periodically for files > ${SIZE} on the file
system and emailing the sysadmin.
OR, you could put quotas on the exported filesystem to limit what users can
create. But then you'll get angry calls that their workflow stopped because
they can't create files (because they're over quota). That is, after all, a
form of notification.
