The Files field specifies the maximum number of files that the quota target can own. This field is optional. The value in this field represents a hard limit that cannot be exceeded.
The following list describes the rules for specifying a value in this field:
K means 1,024 bytes, M means 2 to the 20th power or 1024 * 1024 bytes, and G means 2 to the 30th power or 1024 * 1024 * 1024 bytes.
You can omit the K, M, or G. For example, if you type 100, it means that the maximum number of files is 100.
Note: The Files field is not case-sensitive. Therefore, you can use K, k, M, m, G, or g.
The maximum value you can enter in the Files field is 4G (4 GB) or one of the following values:
4,294,967,295
4,194,304K
4,096M
To apply a tracking quota (which tracks file usage without imposing a limit), type a hyphen (-).
Note: If the quota target is root, or if you specify 0 as the UID or GID, you must type a hyphen.
A blank in the Files field means there is no restriction on the number of files that the quota target can use.
Note: If you leave the Files field blank, you cannot specify values for the Threshold, Soft Disk, or Soft Files fields.
The Files field must be on the same line as the Disk field.
