Set quota per user/group across all shares?

[chris.shelton]

Hi all,

Is there a way to set a quota per user on NAS4Free?

I'll explain my situation, at work we are currently using a single bay QNAP device which is good, but limited. We currently have around 40 users with a set quota of 10GB across all shares. This is generally enough for most people and if any more is required, they are granted more.

I would like to have a similar thing set up on NAS4Free but a little better, but I'm not sure if it's possible. I'd like to be able to set a quota per user group:

Staff: 10GB each
Management: 50GB each
SysAdmin: No limit

I would also like to grant more allowance to individual people when needed.

Is this possible?

Thanks, Chris

perhaps using ZFS and one dataset for user,but I do not know how-to.

It can be done with ZFS like so: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19253-01/819 ... index.html

Using datasets for quotas is no good for me because we have a lot of shared folders so the quota on the dataset for those would be for all users and not individually.
