VFSDEFAULTQUOTA(8) VFSDEFAULTQUOTA(8)

NAME
       vfsdefaultquota - store default quota records for Windows clients

SYNOPSIS
       vfs objects = defaultquota

DESCRIPTION
       This VFS module is part of the ssaammbbaa(7) suite.

       Many  common  quota  implementations  only  store  quotas for users and
       groups, but do not store a default quota. The vfsdefaultquota  module
       allows  Samba to store default quota values which can be examined using
       the Windows Explorer interface.

       By default, Samba returns NOLIMIT the default  quota  and  refuses  to
       update  them.   vfsdefaultquota  maps  the default quota to the quota
       record of a user. By default the root user is taken because quota  lim-
       its for root are typically not enforced.

       This module is stackable.

OOPPTTIIOONNSS
       defaultquota:uid = UID
          UID specifies the user ID of the quota record where the default user
          quota values are stored.

       defaultquota:gid = GID
          GID specifies the group ID of the quota  record  where  the  default
          group quota values are stored.

       defaultquota:uid nolimit = BOOL
          If this parameter is True, then the user whose quota record is stor-
          ing the default user quota will be reported as  having  a  quota  of
          NOLIMIT. Otherwise, the stored values will be reported.

       defaultquota: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 NOLIMIT. Otherwise, the stored values will be reported.

EEXXAAMMPPLLEESS
       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 = defaultquota
            defaultquota:uid = 65535
            defaultquota:uid nolimit = yes

       Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed.
