The New Volume Quota page appears.
3. Select the volume on which you want to set the quota from the New Quota on FS drop-down list.
4. Select the user or group for which you are creating the quota from the For User/Group drop-
down list.
5. In the Warning at (MB) field, enter the threshold of space that, when exceeded, triggers a
warning that the quota is close to being used up. When the threshold is exceeded, the grace
period set up for the volume begins. The user has the amount of time set in the grace period to
reduce the amount of space used to below the space set in the Warning at (MB) field or they will
not be allowed to write further data to the volume. Another way to think about this field is as a
"soft quota".
6. In the Space Limit (MB) field, enter the amount of space that the user or group has available to
use. Another way to think about this field is as the "hard quota". If the user reaches the space
limit, the user can no longer write data to the volume until they either reduce the amount of
space used to below the limit by deleting files or have the quota increased.
7. Click Update.
