Disk Quotas - Buffalo TS-XL User Manual

Disk Quotas

Disk Quotas let you set a maximum on the
amount of total storage that may be used by a
user or group.
Under the Users/Groups tab, click on Local
User or Local Group. Then, click on Edit
User or Edit Group as appropriate. Enable
Quotas and enter amounts (in Gigabytes) for
the maximum storage to be available to the
user or group. The hard limit is the absolute
maximum amount of space in gigabytes that
this user or group will be able to use. The
soft limit, which should be smaller, is the
maximum amount of space in gigabytes that
the user or group can use before receiving a warning that they are running out of space.
If both user and group quotas apply to a member of a group, then whichever is smaller will be
enforced.
