Disk Quota software for Linux
Hi all,
Does anyone knows any good disk quota software for Linux?
I am trying to assign different disk quota allocation for different users and directories.
At moment I am using an FTP solution (Crush FTP, very good), I am able to specify quotas based on directories for each individual user, but I would like to do the same thing at file system level, without going through an FTP path.
Any ideas?

Thanks a lot for your hint,
I'll try that out, but I am not sure if it is possible to assign different quota values based on directories.
It sounds as something based on user and groups.

With the linux quotas, you can only specify quotas on filesystems per user/group, not on directories...
