space restriction on users home directory

[#1]

Hi,

we are planning to implement max 10 GB space restriction for each user on /home/user/ directory.

Can you suggest me the easy way to achieve this?

[#2 · Accepted solution]

is this on local filesystem or hdfs? On hdfs consider using space quotas https://hadoop.apache.org/docs/current/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-hdfs/HdfsQuotaAdminGuide.html

For local filesystem refer to your OS vendor documentation or search internet http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8148715/how-to-set-limit-on-directory-size-in-linux

it is in local file system

See this http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2010/07/disk-quota/

The above answer is for HDFS quota.
