How quotas work with qtrees
You can create quotas with a qtree as their target; these quotas are called tree quotas. You can also create user and group quotas for a specific qtree. In addition, quotas for a volume are sometimes inherited by the qtrees contained by that volume.
- How tree quotas work
You can create quotas with qtrees as their targets to limit how large the qtree can become. These quotas are also called tree quotas.
- How user and group quotas work with qtrees
Tree quotas limit the overall size of the qtree. To prevent individual users or groups from consuming the entire qtree, you specify a user or group quota for that qtree.
- How quotas are inherited from volumes by qtrees
When you create a quota for a volume, that quota is usually automatically inherited by all qtrees in that volume. However, some conditions will prevent a volume quota from being inherited by the volume's qtrees.
