Hi guys,
I know that we can set quota limit for an OS user on a filesystem.
But I have a different objective to achieve -
can we set a limit on a folder on a filesystem.
Let use I have a 'apps' folder in some filesystem. Disc space occupied by 'apps' should not be more that 5GB.

edquota
edquota(1M) System Administration Commands edquota(1M)NAME
edquota - edit user quotas for ufs file system
SYNOPSIS
edquota [-p proto_user] username...
edquota -t
DESCRIPTION
edquota is a quota editor. One or more users may be specified on the command line. For each user a temporary file is created with an ASCII
representation of the current disk quotas for that user for each mounted ufs file system that has a quotas file, and an editor is then
invoked on the file. The quotas may then be modified, new quotas added, etc. Upon leaving the editor, edquota reads the temporary file and
modifies the binary quota files to reflect the changes made.
The editor invoked is vi(1) unless the EDITOR environment variable specifies otherwise.
Only the super-user may edit quotas. In order for quotas to be established on a file system, the root directory of the file system must
contain a file, owned by root, called quotas. (See quotaon(1M).)
proto_user and username can be numeric, corresponding to the UID of a user. Unassigned UIDs may be specified; unassigned names may not. In
this way, default quotas can be established for users who are later assigned a UID.
If no options are specified, the temporary file created will have one or more lines of the format, where a block is considered to be a 1024
byte(1K) block:
fs mount_point blocks (soft =number,
hard =number ) inodes (soft =number,
hard =number)
The number fields may be modified to reflect desired values.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-p Duplicate the quotas of the proto_user specified for each username specified. This is the normal mechanism used to initialize quo-
tas for groups of users.
-t Edit the soft time limits for each file system. If the time limits are zero, the default time limits in
/usr/include/sys/fs/ufs_quota.h are used. The temporary file created will have one or more lines of the form
fs mount_point blocks time limit = number tmunit, files time limit = number tmunit
tmunit may be one of ``month'', ``week'', ``day'', ``hour'', ``min'' or ``sec''; characters appended to these keywords are ignored, so you
may write ``months'' or ``minutes'' if you prefer. The number and tmunit fields may be modified to set desired values. Time limits are
printed in the greatest possible time unit such that the value is greater than or equal to one. If ``default'' is printed after the tmunit,
this indicates that the value shown is zero (the default).
USAGE
See largefile(5) for the description of the behavior of edquota when encountering files greater than or equal to 2 Gbyte ( 2**31 bytes).
FILES
quotas quota file at the file system root
