7.6. Quota Management

Quota support in OS X allows you to set per-user quotas on a per-user level under the Homes tab of Workgroup Manager. Once user-specific quotas have been assigned here, you must then enable quota enforcement on the volume(s) hosting the home directory. To do this, connect to the home directory server using the Server Admin application. With the server connected, select the main server entry and select the File Sharing tab. With the Volumes section selected, highlight the home directory volume and select the Quotas tab. Check the box to enable quotas. After a brief wait, the list should populate with data that is on the drives, and will show current quota limits and utilization (see Figure 7-30).
