Disk Quotas
You can limit the disk space users have available to store les in the volume where
their home folders reside.
This quota applies to all les that the user stores in the volume where his or her home
folder resides, including all les stored in the user’s drop box. Therefore, when a user
places les in another user’s drop box, it can aect the other user’s disk quota or have
other eects, such as these:
When you copy a le to a user’s AFP drop box, the owner of the drop box becomes Â
the owner of the le.
In NFS, when you copy a le to another folder, you remain the owner and the copy Â
operation reduces your disk quota on the related partition.
WARNING: If you set a disk quota on a user with a mobile account, the quota only
aects the user’s network home folder. There are no quota restrictions on the user’s
local home folder. Setting the quota too low can cause sync issues and data loss.
For example, if you set a 250 MB quota and the user uses 500 MB on his or her local
home folder, the mobile account doesn’t sync entirely. The home folders sync until
the 250 MB quota is met, and unsynced les remain local. When the user logs
in to another computer and syncs, only 250 MB of data syncs from the network
home folder.
For more information about conguring disk quotas for users and groups, see
“Conguring Share Point Quotas” on page 64.
Setting Up a Share Point
This section describes how to create share points and set share point access privileges.
It also describes how to share using specic protocols (AFP, SMB, FTP, or NFS) and how
to automatically mount share points on client desktops.
For more tasks that you might perform after you set up sharing on your server, see
“Managing Share Points” on page 47.
Creating a Share Point
You use File Sharing in Server Admin to share volumes (including disks, CDs, and
DVDs), partitions, and individual folders by setting up share points.
Note: Don’t use a slash (/) in the name of a folder or volume you plan to share. Users
trying to access the share point might have trouble seeing it.
