Setting Up a Storage Area Network

3

Click the Add (+) button, and then drag a user or group from the drawer to the

quotas list.

If you don’t see the SAN users in the drawer, open Directory Access (in /Applications/

Utilities/) and make sure you’re using the correct directory for user authentication.

4

Select the user or group in the quotas list and adjust their quota settings in the lower

half of the window.

 Soft Quota: The user’s recommended working maximum. The user can exceed this

limit as needed, but only for the length of time specified following “Quota locked

after.”

 Hard Quota: The absolute maximum amount of storage the user’s data can occupy.

 “Quota locked after __”: The length of time the user can exceed his or her soft

quota before it automatically becomes a hard quota.
