Setting up End-User Access Creating Volume Quota for a User or Group The New Filesystem Quota page appears. 5 STEP 3 Select the volume on which you want to set the quota from the New Quota on drop-down list. To limit the entries in the User/Group list, perform a substring search by entering the desired search string in the User/Group List Filter field, and then clicking Filter. (For example, enter "ea" to display any list items that contain "ea" such as "Sean" or "BillyJean".) STEP 4 Select the user or group for which you are creating the quota from the For User/ Group drop-down list. STEP 5 In the Warning at field, enter the threshold of space that, when exceeded, triggers a warning that the quota is close to being used up. When the threshold is exceeded, the grace period set up for the volume begins. The user has the amount of time set in the grace period to reduce the amount of space used to under the space set in the Warning at field or they are not allowed to write further data to the volume. This is also referred to as a "soft quota." STEP 6 In the Space Limit field, enter the amount of space that the user or group has available to use, and then select the size unit from the drop-down menu. This is also referred to as a "hard quota." If the user reaches the space limit, the user can no longer write data to the volume until they either reduce the amount of space used to under the limit by deleting files or have the quota increased.
