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.
