File SyStem - QuOta management
The VTrak A-Class supports use of an external LDAP server for limiting the total amount of storage consumed,
administered on an individual user basis (quota users), or by quota user groups. Quota limits are applied across
an entire le system, placing a hard limit on the total storage capacity allowed and the total number of les
allowed.
