Remarks
- Disk quotas are implemented on a per-volume basis, and they
enable both hard and soft storage limits to be implemented on a
per-user basis.
- You can use write scripts that use fsutil quota to set
the quota limits every time you add a new user or to automatically
track quota limits, compile them into a report, and automatically
send them to the system administrator in e-mail.
