<a href="samba.7.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">samba</span>(7)</span></a>
suite.</p><p>Many common quota implementations only store
quotas for users and groups, but do not store a default quota. The
<code class="literal">vfs_default_quota</code> module allows Samba to store
default quota values which can be examined using the Windows
Explorer interface.
</p><p>By default, Samba returns NO_LIMIT the default quota and
refuses to update them. <code class="literal">vfs_default_quota</code> 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.</p><p>This module is stackable.</p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><a name="id259548"></a><h2>OPTIONS</h2><div class="variablelist"><dl><dt><span class="term">default_quota:uid = UID</span></dt><dd><p>UID specifies the user ID of the quota record where the

the user with ID 65535 and report that user as having no quota
limits:</p><pre class="programlisting">
<em class="parameter"><code>[global]</code></em>
<a class="indexterm" name="id259387"></a>vfs objects = default_quota

by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar
to the way the Linux kernel is developed.</p></div></div></body></html>
