6 Managing Quotas on an XFS File System

Use the xfs_quota tool to manage quotas on an XFS file system.

Use XFS quotas to set limits on disk space allocation, in terms of blocks, and file creation, in terms of inodes. Quotas can be used to monitor and restrict disk usage at various levels, including individual users, groups, and projects.

Project level quotas can be configured to map directory level hierarchies to particular projects defined in the configuration files at /etc/projects and /etc/projid. For more information on these configuration files, see the projects(5) and projid(5) manual pages.

For more information, see the xfs_quota(8) manual page.
