How to set disk quota for multiple users within a single disk partition

  • 772

I have a single disk partition (say /shared) shared by multiple users. It has a single file system (ext3). I want to put home directories for each of the user here and set their disk limit to 5 GB. Thus /share/home/user1 could have up to 5 GB and /share/home/user2 have could have up to 5 GB.

What is the command line way (not GUI) to do this?

    Take a look at Using 'quota' for disk limits

    Basically you need edquota util from quota package (apt-get install quota) to set up disk quote for users.
