Disk Quotas

Disk quotas are limits set by system administrators to control how much storage space individual users or groups can use on a computer or network. Think of it like a personal storage allowance—once someone reaches their limit, they cannot save more files until they free up space or the limit is increased. This helps prevent any one user from consuming all available storage, ensuring fair access and maintaining system performance. Disk quotas are useful in shared environments like workplaces or schools to manage resources efficiently.
