Hello Ralf,
I tried (as you suggested) setting res_min but it doesn't work over su
(to a power user).

I set res_min fsize for default user (-4) to 10M.  I then set res_min
fsize = 0 for admin
When I try to create a large file as regular user, the limit is
enforced as designed.  However, when I su to admin, the limit is still
enforced.
