Blues any coments?
Double hard quota for not?
Give users for grace quota?
In case, you need the following for comment:
Hard Limit
The hard limit defines the absolute maximum amount of disk space that a
user or group can use. Once this limit is reached, no further disk space
can be used.
Soft Limit
The soft limit defines the maximum amount of disk space that can be used.
However, unlike the hard limit, the soft limit can be exceeded for a
certain amount of time. That time is known as the grace period.
Grace Period
The grace period is the time during which the soft limit may be exceeded.
The grace period can be expressed in seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks,
or months, giving the system administrator a great deal of freedom in
determining how much time to give users to get their disk usage below
their soft limit.
