Quota Rules
Assigning user quotas allows you to better control the disk space allocated to a user or a
group. There are various rules dictating which quota takes precedent over another.
 User quota must be the group quota (e.g., if your group has a 20GB quota and
you try to set the user quota to 30GB quota, you will be prompted to reduce your
user quota to be equal to or less then the group quota).
