Setting up End-User Access Setting up the Grace Period for a Volume Quota 5 Setting up the Grace Period for a Volume Quota You can set up a limit on the amount of space available to your users or groups. This limit can be set as a soft quota and hard quota. When the users reach their "soft quota", a warning is issued and the grace period begins. Users then have the amount of time set in the grace period to either reduce the amount of spaced used by deleting files, or have the quota increased. If the amount of space is not reduced before the grace period expires or the user reaches the hard quota, the user is automatically denied write access to the volume. NOTE: Before you create quotas for a user or group, make sure you set up the Warn For time for each volume from the Filesystem Quota page. The Warn For time only affects individual quota that was created after the Warn For time was set. To set up the grace period for a volume: STEP 1 From the Manager Menu, click Access Quota. The Filesystem Quota page appears. STEP 2 To set up the grace period, after which if the soft limit set for the user or group is still exceeded, the user or group is denied write access, enter the time period in the Warn for before denying access field. Enter the number in the first part of the field, and the time unit in the second part of the field. For example, Cisco Small Business NSS2000 Series Administration Guide 83
