Disk Quotas

Disk Quotas

Disk quotas are a way to restrict the use of disk space either by user or by groups. Although rarely — if ever — used on a local or standalone workstation, quotas are definitely a way of life at the enterprise level of computing. Use limits on disk space not only conserve resources, but also provide a measure of operational safety by limiting the amount of disk space any user can consume.

Disk quotas are more fully covered in Chapter 10, "Managing Users."
