Comments on Linux Quota - installation and configuration on Ubuntu and Debian
Quota allows you to specify limits on two aspects of disk storage: the number of inodes a user or a group of users may possess; and the number of disk blocks that may be allocated to a user or a group of users. The idea behind quota is that users are forced to stay under their disk consumption limit, taking away their ability to consume unlimited disk space on a system. Quota is handled on a per user, per file system basis. If there is more than one file system which a user is expected to create files, then quota must be set for each file system separately. Various tools are available for you to administer and automate quota policies on your system.

Nice (y) :g
Thanks for this clear and helpful tutorial. However, I have one question. You suggest to place quotacheck as an entry in cron. However, when I issue the quotacheck command manually, it demands that I disable quota (quotaoff) first. So, how can it work in cron without performing quotaoff first?
