Default quotas

Applying default quotas provides all new users, groups of users, or filesets with established minimum quota limits. If default quota values are not enabled, new users, new groups, or new filesets have a quota value of zero, which establishes no limit to the amount of space that can be used.

Default quota limits can be set or changed only if the -Q yes option is in effect for the file system. To set default quotas at the fileset level, the --perfileset-quota option must also be in effect. The -Q yes and --perfileset-quota options are specified when creating a file system with the mmcrfs command or changing file system attributes with the mmchfs command. Use the mmlsfs command to display the current settings of these quota options. Default quotas may then be enabled by issuing the mmdefquotaon command. Default values are established by issuing the mmdefedquota command.
