How can I increase the disk quota for a directory?

I know very basic Unix commands s I would really appreciate the assistance of a Unix guru.

I am installing an application on a Sun server, when attempting to install I get an error that says I do not have enough space allocated for my install directory (/ACEMS). Error says it has 7235m but needs 15360m. How can I increase the space allowed.

Thanks in advance.

NAME
quotacheck_hfs: quotacheck - quota consistency checker for HFS file systems SYNOPSIS
filesystem ... DESCRIPTION
The command examines each HFS file system, builds a table of current disk usage, and compares this table against that stored in the disk quota file for the file system. If any inconsistencies are detected, both the quota file and the current system copy of the incorrect quo- tas are updated. expects each file system to be checked to have a file named in the root directory. If none is present, reports an error and ignores the file system. is normally run at mount time from start up scripts. filesystem represents a mount point or block special device (for example, Options recognizes the following options: Obtain list of file systems to check from Only mounted file systems of type and (or with the option are checked. Specify the file system type Check file systems in parallel as allowed by equal values in the pass number field in Preen file systems, checking only those with invalid quota statistics and commands can invalidate quota statistics as discussed in quota(5) -- see quotaoff(1M) and edquota(1M)). Also checks in parallel as in above. Check user quotas. This is the default action. Echo the completed command line, but perform no other action. The command line is generated by incorporating the user-specified options and other information derived from This option allows the user to verify the command line. Indicate the calculated disk quotas for each user on a particular file system. normally reports only those quotas that are modified. AUTHOR
