| Also
known as a quota, disk quota management is permissions
given by administrators that set limits on the user, workgroups,
or other groups of storage space. By setting a quota, this
helps prevents a server or share from becoming full of data, but allows users to still be able to
save files on a server and/or share.
Most users who send and receive e-mail
or run their own webpage should be familiar with quotas. For example,
often a e-mail server will be setup so a user can only receive so
many e-mails or only receive e-mails with small attachments.
If they exceed their quota, often the e-mail server will reject any
new messages or delete older messages. In addition, if the file attachment
is too big to fit into the allocated space, the e-mail will be
rejected and/or deleted.
