NAME

vfs_default_quota - store default quota records for Windows clients

SYNOPSIS

vfs objects = default_quota

DESCRIPTION

This VFS module is part of the samba(7) suite.

Many common quota implementations only store quotas for users and
groups, but do not store a default quota. The vfs_default_quota
module allows Samba to store default quota values which can be
examined using the Windows Explorer interface.

By default, Samba returns NO_LIMIT the default quota and refuses to
update them. vfs_default_quota maps the default quota to the quota
record of a user. By default the root user is taken because quota
limits for root are typically not enforced.

This module is stackable.

OPTIONS

default_quota:uid = UID
UID specifies the user ID of the quota record where the default
user quota values are stored.

default_quota:gid = GID
GID specifies the group ID of the quota record where the default
group quota values are stored.

default_quota:uid nolimit = BOOL
If this parameter is True, then the user whose quota record is
storing the default user quota will be reported as having a quota
of NO_LIMIT. Otherwise, the stored values will be reported.

default_quota:gid nolimit = BOOL
If this parameter is True, then the group whose quota record is
storing the default group quota will be reported as having a
quota of NO_LIMIT. Otherwise, the stored values will be reported.

EXAMPLES

Store the default quota record in the quota record for the user with
ID 65535 and report that user as having no quota limits:

[global]
vfs objects = default_quota
default_quota:uid = 65535
default_quota:uid nolimit = yes
