warning level to 45 MB. In this case, the user can store no more than 50 MB on the
volume. If the user stores more than 45 MB on the volume, you can have the disk quota
system log a system event.
In addition, you also can specify that users can exceed their quota limit. Enabling quotas
and not limiting disk space use is useful when you do not want to deny users access to a
volume, but want to track disk space use on a per-user basis. You can also specify whether
or not to log an event when users exceed either their quota warning level or their quota
limit.
When you enable disk quotas for a volume, volume usage is automatically tracked from
that point forward, but existing volume users have no disk quotas applied to them. You can
apply disk quotas to existing volume users by adding new quota entries on the Quota
Entries page.
Enabling Quota Management
When you enable disk quotas on a volume, every user's disk volume usage is monitored
and treated differently depending on the quota management settings for the specific user.
For example, users who have write access to the volume and who have not exceeded their
quota limit can store data on the volume. The first time a user writes data to a
quota-enabled volume, default values for the disk space limit and the warning level are
automatically assigned by the quota system.
