Re: Disk Quota question
Ideally i would like to have only a soft limit with 0
(unlimited) hard limit so that users get a warning but
are able to run important jobs.
But when the overall disk usage has hit say 95% then
blocking that user to run jobs(not to affect other
users) which means trating that soft limit as hard
limit.
