Disk Quotas

You can set a disk quota to limit drive space for each user or group. You can also set an alert space. If the drive space
exceeds the set alert space, an email notification is sent. To configure email notifications for disk quota, refer to the
"Email Notification" section in chapter 8.
Notes:
• When using quotas, disable the recycle bin or empty the trash folder often. The limited space includes the
space used for trash.
• Quotas apply per drive or per array. If a quota is set to 1 GB, each array or drive can use a maximum of 1 GB.
• Quotas cannot be set for external hard drives connected to the TeraStation and hard drives that are
configured as media cartridges.
• If both user and group quotas are configured for a user, the most restrictive quota will always apply.
• Make sure that SMB2 is disabled before using quotas on the TeraStation.
