You can configure AS/U to respect filesystem resource limits as set by the HP-UX disk quota facility. The disk quota facility allows you to limit the number of files and file blocks used by a specific HP-UX account per filesystem. When the registry value UnixQuotas is enabled, and the AS/U user is mapped to an HP-UX account (via the mapuname command), all HP-UX and AS/U files and directories count toward the account's filesystem resource quotas.

AS/U user applications will receive error messages when attempting to exceed the quotas; however, no alert messages are presented to users to indicate that they are approaching or attempting to exceed a disk quota. You must consider AS/U file system usage explicitly when monitoring disk quota status.

You enable disk quotas by setting the registry value UnixQuotas to 1. Disk quotas are turned off (0) by default.
