Linux System Administration
Quotas
It is quite possible that a user or group could use all the space on a partition, possibly causing the system to come to a (crashing) halt.
If we set up quotas for each user or group, we can limit the amount of resources a user or group can use.
We can limit the amount of disk space by limiting the amount of blocks each user or group can use.
We can limit the amount of files a user creates by limiting the amount of inodes a user or group can consume.
