Hi,
Is there a way to restrict a user to a maximum amount of storage. So NAS4Free has 500Gb but i want to restrict this user to only 10Gb?
Thanks in advance,
Cloudy

Re: Restrict maximum storage user
You should provide more info about your system, because it depends of your configuration.
AFAIK, if you are using ZFS, you can create a dataset. You can assign this dataset to the user. Dataset have an option for quota when creating them.
You can check it out since I am not 100% sure (I don't use datasets)
EDIT: Just confirmed. Created a dataset "user1dataset" with 1GB quota, then created a user "user1" with the dataset as his home directory. finally created a share using dataset "user1dataset"
After mapping the share, the space it shows is 1GB. And if later you want to increase quota, you simply edit the space from Disks|ZFS|Datasets|Dataset|Edit

Re: Restrict maximum storage user
Depending upon the size of storage material you should decide the storage unit size.
