Can we restrict an user to use only certain disk space

Hi,

In Ibm Aix can we restrict the user to use only 50% or 60% of disk space.
Thanks,
Chris

To restrict disk usage u have to implement quota for that user.

#chfs "quota = userquota" /home (or ur desired fs)

#quotaon -u /home --> to enable userquota

#edquota <username> ---> Here u can specify hard limit and soft limit.
