===============
Quota subsystem allows system administrator to set limits on used space and
-number of used inodes (inode is a filesystem structure which is associated
-with each file or directory) for users and/or groups. For both used space and
-number of used inodes there are actually two limits. The first one is called
-softlimit and the second one hardlimit. An user can never exceed a hardlimit
-for any resource. User is allowed to exceed softlimit but only for limited
-period of time. This period is called "grace period" or "grace time". When
-grace time is over, user is not able to allocate more space/inodes until he
-frees enough of them to get below softlimit.

Quota limits (and amount of grace time) are set independently for each
