the volume, you can have the disk quota system log a
system event
You also can specify that users can exceed their quota
limit. Enabling quotas and not limiting disk space use
is useful when you do not want to deny users access
to a volume, but want to track disk space use on a per-
user basis. You can also specify whether or not to log
an event when users exceed either their quota
warning level or their quota limit.
When you enable disk quotas for a volume, volume
usage is automatically tracked for new users from that
point on. However, existing volume users have no disk
quotas applied to them. You can apply disk quotas to
existing volume users by adding new quota entries in
the Quota Entries window.

Quota Management
When you enable disk quotas on a volume, users with
write access to the volume who have not exceeded
their quota limit can store data on the volume. The
first time a user writes data to a quota-enabled
volume, default values for disk space limit and
warning level are automatically assigned by the quota
system.
This page is used to configure default quota values.
To enable or disable quota management on a
volume
