Step 3 - Quota Size

When creating or modifying directory quota's, you need to define a Quota size. The Quota size is a reference value indicating the size of the quota. All quota limits will be based on a percentage of this size.

The following Quota Size types may be defined:

• Absolute value, e.g. 10MB. Choosing an absolute value will set a fixed limit for the selected directory quota. All limits based on this size will be a percentage of this fixed value.

• Percentage of the current directory size, e.g. 100%. Choose this setting if you want the quota size to be exactly the same as the current directory size.

• Percentage of the logical disk size, e.g. 1%. Choose this setting to make the quota size dependent on the logical disk size.

Choosing the right quota size:

1) Fixed 50MB quota's for all your users' home directories

Quota size: absolute value on 50MB

Revoke limit on 100% of the quota size

2) You want to be alerted when your users exceed their current directory size

Quota size: percentage of the current directory size: 100%

Popup limit on 100% of the quota size

3) Fixed 100MB quota's, you want to be alerted when users exceed 80MB of storage

Quota size: absolute value on 100MB

Popup limit on 80% of the quota size

Revoke limit on 100% of the quota size

When using the Add Quota wizard, continue setting the quota limits and see Step 4 - Quota Limits.
