Setting Up User Space Restrictions

You can limit the amount of space users can have on a volume. This is beneficial for systems that accommodate a large number of users, such as students.

When you create volumes, you can select the user space restrictions option.

  1. From ConsoleOne, open the tree you want.

  2. Right-click the server object and select Properties.

  3. Right-click on the volume that contains the user object you want.

  4. Click Properties > Attributes > NSS Attributes.

  5. Select User Space Restrictions.

  6. Click Users with Space Restrictions.

  7. Select the user you want to apply restrictions to.

    If the user you want is not in the list, do the following:

    1. Click Add.

    2. Browse for the user you want.

    3. Double-click on the user.

      The User Space Restriction dialog box opens. You can enter or modify the User Space Restriction parameters in this box.

  8. Click Modify.

  9. Enter or edit the user space amount in the Limit field and click OK.
