Conclusion
Disk quotas are good to put in place for specific users whose disk usage activities need to be curtailed. It helps to not only limit the use of physical disk resources that could potentially be put to better use, but also reduces the likelihood of having fragmented disk structures that slow disk access due to the presence of too many files. User education must play a major role in your strategy too; users must be made aware of the challenges you face as a result of excessive disk usage. Of course, there comes a time when you are faced with no option but to expand the number of disks in your system. Chapter 27, "Expanding Disk Capacity," covers a variety of approaches to increasing your storage capacity.
