When enabling disk quotas, it is possible to set both the disk quota limit and
the disk quota warning level. The disk quota limit specifies the amount of
disk space a user is allowed to use. The warning level specifies the point at
which a user is nearing his or her quota limit. For example, a user's disk
quota limit can be set to 50 megabytes (MB), and the disk quota warning
level to 45 MB. In this case, the user can store no more than 50 MB on the
volume. If the user stores more than 45 MB on the volume, the disk quota
system logs a system event.
In addition, it is possible to specify that users can exceed their quota limit.
Enabling quotas and not limiting disk space use is useful to still allow users
access to a volume, but track disk space use on a per-user basis. It is also
possible to specify whether or not to log an event when users exceed either
their quota warning level or their quota limit.
When enabling disk quotas for a volume, volume usage is automatically
tracked from that point forward, but existing volume users have no disk
quotas applied to them. Apply disk quotas to existing volume users by
adding new quota entries on the Quota Entries page.
Note
When enabling disk quotas on a volume, any users with write access to the volume
who have not exceeded their quota limit can store data on the volume. The first time
a user writes data to a quota-enabled volume, default values for disk space limit and
warning level are automatically assigned by the quota system.
3.10. Using Diskpart
Diskpart.exe is a text-mode command interpreter that enables the
administrator to manage disks, partitions, or volumes.
When using the list commands, an asterisk (*) appears next to the object
with focus. Select an object by its number or drive letter, such as disk 0,
partition 1, volume 3, or volume C.
When selecting an object, the focus remains on that object until a different
object is selected. For example, if the focus is set on disk 0 and volume 8 on
disk 2 is selected, the focus shifts from disk 0 to disk 2, volume 8. Some
commands automatically change the focus. For example, when creating a
new partition, the focus automatically switches to the new partition.
Focus can only be given to a partition on the selected disk. When a partition
has focus, the related volume (if any) also has focus. When a volume has
focus, the related disk and partition also have focus if the volume maps to a
single specific partition. If this is not the case, focus on the disk and partition
is lost.
