Quota Support

•

What is a quota?

– A set of rules that restrict disk space used by users and groups

within a NAS Volume

• Example

– A user quota specifying that a particular user can use up to

300 MB of disk space in a given NAS Volume, before a warning

is issued (soft limit) and up to 325 MB maximum (hard limit).

– Important: Users and groups for which an individual quota is

not defined will use the default user/group quota.

• There are two types of quota limitation options

– Soft: User/Administrator will be warned.

– Hard: New storage consumption by the user is denied.

• There are two levels of quota limitation options

– User: Specific limitation for a user (Ulimit)

– Group: Group limitation for the primary group of all users in a group (Glimit)

• Quotas can be applied to both CIFS and NFS shares
