Why you use quotas
You can use quotas to limit resource usage, to provide notification when resource usage reaches specific levels, or simply to track resource usage.
You specify a quota for the following reasons:
•
To limit the amount of disk space or the number of files that can be used by a user or group, or that can be contained by a qtree
•
To track the amount of disk space or the number of files used by a user, group, or qtree, without imposing a limit
•
To warn users when their disk usage or file usage is high
