quota for user primary group

Hello,

I try to set quota for user primary group only, but not to groups the user is member of.
How exactly to do that?

Thanks in advance.

The Qouta function allow you to specify the amount of space a user is allowed to allocate on the shares to which they have access.
To remove any limitations for a user, you need to set their quota to 0.
NOTE Max quota value per user/group is 2TB. All greater values will be limited to 2TB.

You can assign a quota (limit) on the amount of space the members of a group are allowed to allocate on the shares to which they have access. Also you can make the quota relevant only to those users for whom the given group is the primary, or only for those users who do not have individual quotas set up.
To remove any limits, set the quota to 0.

NOTE Max quota value per user is 2TB. All greater values will be limited to 2TB. This is the way we use Quota in DSS.

Hello Al-S,

Thanks for the fast response.
I try to describe a scenario because I think I have not described exactly what I mean.

I have created a group quota.
This group has only one user.
Additionally the user is a member of another group.
This is only for testing.

I uploaded the group quota file and fill the home directory of the user with files till the quota limit is reached.
Now when I try to create a new directory with mkdir command I get
mkdir: cannot create directory xyz: Disk quota exceeded.
This is exactly what I expect.

But when I change to a directory owned by a group the user is member of I have the same behavior as described above.
So I must explicitly change the users group with newgrp command.
After changed the group the user is again able to create directories.

So is there a way to set the quota only for the user´s primary group?

More precisely, when the user is working on a project in which he is a member of he must not use the newgrp command before.
But he is still limited in directories owned by his primary group when reached the quota limit.

I see the function “Quota for member of the group” but not sure how to use it.
It would be a benefit if the user must not type the newgrp command every time he work on a project owned by his secondary group.
Is there a way to implement this behavior via this function?

Quota for member of a group

You can assign a quota (limit) on the amount of space the members of a group are allowed to allocate on the shares to which they have access. You can also make the quota relevant only to those users for whom the given group is the primary.
