Linux Server Disk Quota Management with Quota Tools

In this episode of Linux Server Admin with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna dive into Linux server disk quota management using the classic quota tools. They walk through setting up quotas on an ext4 filesystem, covering user and group quotas, grace periods, and the soft/hard limit distinction. Using a real example of a shared development server with 20 users, they explain how to enable quotas at the filesystem level, install the quota package, initialize quota databases, and set limits with edquota. They also touch on reporting with repquota and quotacheck, and the gotcha of requiring the usrquota and grpquota mount options. The episode focuses on a practical, reproducible workflow for sysadmins managing limited disk space in multi-user environments, avoiding cloud storage costs or frequent manual cleanup.
