Abstract
A system and method for establishing and enforcing a maximum size for a directory in a file server. The system and method includes setting a quota size for the directory, and in response to a request to write to the directory, determining if the size of the directory is less than the quota size. If the size of the directory is less than the quota, then it is determined if the write request will exceed the quota size. The system and method further includes processing the write request if the write request does not exceed the quota, thereby preventing the size of the directory from exceeding the set quota size.
