Setting up the Grace Period for a Volume Quota
You can set up a limit on the amount of space available to your users or groups.
This limit can be set as a soft quota and hard quota. When the users reach their
"soft quota", a warning is issued and the grace period begins. Users then have the
amount of time set in the grace period to either reduce the amount of spaced used
by deleting files, or have the quota increased. If the amount of space is not
reduced before the grace period expires or the user reaches the hard quota, the
user is automatically denied write access to the volume.
To set up the grace period for a volume:
STEP 1
From the Manager Menu, click Access
Quota.
The Filesystem Quota page appears.
STEP 2
To set up the grace period, after which if the soft limit set for the user or group is
still exceeded, the user or group is denied write access, enter the time period in
the Warn for <time period> before denying access field. Enter the number in the
first part of the field, and the time unit in the second part of the field. For example,
NOTE:
Before you create quotas for a user or
group, make sure you set up the Warn For time
for each volume from the Filesystem Quota
page. The Warn For time only affects individual
quota that was created after the Warn For time
was set.
