How To Create Disk Space Quota
 

What is the best way to create a hard (OS) quota on disk space folders? Basically in web root folder /var/www/lighttpd I have a folder called domains. I want to set a quota on each domain folder. The quota sizes will vary per folder. Is there a way to do this without creating a user for every domain? Currently every folder is owned by the lighttpd user and group. Would like to keep it that way. Running CentOS5. Thanks.

You have to create users for each domain the filesystem tracks quota's based on uid or gid.
