To enable quotas on a group directory and also monitor and limit the disk usage, Enforcement quotas need to be configured. Enforcement quotas include all the functionality of accounting quotas and additionally provide the capability to limit disk storage. This ensures that administrators can control or restrict the amount of storage a user, group, or directory can use, making it the most suitable choice for the given requirements.
Enforcement quotas, on the other hand, include all the functionality of the accounting option plus the ability to limit disk storage and send notifications. Using enforcement limits, you can logically partition a cluster to control or restrict how much storage that a user, group, or directory can use. For example, you can set capacity limits to ensure that adequate space is always available for key projects and critical applications and to ensure that users of the cluster do not exceed their allotted storage capacity.
