Linux Disk Quota Management Graphical Example

Disk quota is the storage limit of a specified disk in a computer. That is, the administrator can set a quota limit for the disk space that can be used by users. Each user can only use the disk space within the maximum quota range. This can prevent other users from being unable to work properly or even affecting system operation due to excessive use of disk space by one user. This function is very important in server management, but it is of little significance to stand-alone users.
