Creating your file...
You can specify a UNIX user for a quota using one of three formats: the user name, the UID, or a file or directory owned by the user.
To specify a UNIX user for a quota, you can use one of the following formats:
-
The user name, such as jsmith.
You cannot use a UNIX user name to specify a quota if that name includes a backslash (\) or an @ sign. This is because ONTAP treats names containing these characters as Windows names.
-
The UID, such as 20.
-
The path of a file or directory owned by that user, so that the file's UID matches the user.
If you specify a file or directory name, you must select a file or directory that will last as long as the user account remains on the system.
Specifying a file or directory name for the UID does not cause ONTAP to apply a quota to that file or directory.
