	Yep , there is such thing as QUOTA mechanism . 
	Try man "edquota" and/or "quota".


	It  wasn't very robust in 2.1Release and some SNAPs after,
	and it is a headache to run on any serious server machines
	with few thous of accounts.

	Looks like this is not in top priorities list.
	The way quotas done now puts them inside of given
	FS type versus being independent level in virtual
	FS. Noone is willing to mess with current code :(
