Ubuntu Linux Disk Quotas

Courtesy Digg Linux/Unix upcoming  Fri, 09/05/2008 - 10:38

On large systems with many users, you need to control the amount of disk space a user has access to. Disk quotas are designed specifically for this purpose.

Quotas, managed per each partition, can be set for both individual users as well as groups; quotas for the group need not be as large as the aggregate quotas for the individuals in the groups.
