Setting up End-User Access Managing Volume Quotas 5 Managing Volume Quotas You can set up specific space limits for each user or group who has write access to a volume. Defining a user or group's quota means that you can set a space limit (referred to as a soft quota) that, when reached, sends a warning to the administrator and initiates a countdown of the defined grace period. The user has the amount of time in the grace period to reduce the amount of space used to under the soft quota limit. Users who do not reduce the space in the allotted grace period, or who reach their hard quota limit, no longer have write access to the volume until they reduce their usage to under their soft quota limit. When a user creates, modifies or deletes a file on a volume, note that there is a small delay before the usage is updated on the Quota page. This delay is due to the caching in the filesystem used to provide high performance NOTE Before you create or edit a quota located on an encrypted volume, make sure that the volume is unlocked. You also need to set up the Warn For time for each volume from the Volume Quota page. The Warn For time only affects individual quota that was created after the Warn For time was set.
