VFS_DEFAULT_QUOTA(8)                                                                    VFS_DEFAULT_QUOTA(8)



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
