My machine has 2 hard drives. Ive set up user quotas on both of them, but it
seems that i have to give each drive a separate quota amount. Is there any
way to make it a general system quota which would encompass both drives so I
could say give each user 200MB of quota across both drives?


No, you set quotas per partition where quotas are enabled.

Actually they're per-filesystem. In a classic UNIX environment, users were not allowed to create files anywhere except their home directories or in /tmp, so you only had to set up two quotas (and the /tmp one was usually quite small).

In this case, however, a sequential LVM of the two filesystems in
question should work.
