Managing Quotas

Understanding Quotas

Quotas allow you to restrict the space usage on the NAS server for both users

and groups. A user or group who goes beyond the specified space usage can

not access the system. Each user can have one quota on a file volume.
Quotas are set on a per file volume basis. You can have a quota larger than

the available space on the file volume.

Enabling or Disabling Quotas

To enable or disable a quota:

In the Command View NAS web interface, click the Storage tab.

Navigate down the tree to Quota Management, then select either User or

Group Quotas.

Select a file volume from the drop-down list.

Select Actions > Enable/Disable Quotas. If the file volume is:

—

Disabled, enabling it takes several minutes.

—

Enabled, disabling quotas applies to both users and groups.
