NOTE
Lynksys Small Business NSS4000 and NSS6000 Series Network Storage System Administration Guide
You can set up specific space limits for each user or group who has write access
to a volume. Defining a user or group's quota means that you can set a space limit
(referred to as a soft quota) that, when reached, sends a warning to the
administrator and initiates a countdown of the defined grace period. The user has
the amount of time in the grace period to reduce the amount of space used to
under the soft quota limit. Users who do not reduce the space in the allotted grace
period, or who reach their hard quota limit, no longer have write access to the
volume until they reduce their usage to under their soft quota limit.
When a user creates, modifies or deletes a file on a volume, note that there is a
small delay before the usage is updated on the Quota page. This delay is due to
the caching in the filesystem used to provide high performance
Before you create or edit a quota located on an encrypted volume, make sure that
the volume is unlocked. You also need to set up the Warn For time for each volume
from the Volume Quota page. The Warn For time only affects individual quota that
was created after the Warn For time was set.
