Changing the scope of quota limit checking

The scope of quota enforcement is established when quotas are activated. By default, user and group quota limits are enforced across the entire file system. Optionally, the scope of quota enforcement can be limited to an individual fileset boundaries.

The scope of quota enforcement can be changed using the mmchfs command and specifying either the --perfileset-quota or --noperfileset-quota option as needed.

After changing the scope of quota enforcement, mmcheckquota must be run to properly update the quota usage information.
