3.2.1.2.2 Auto Apply Quotas

For each auto apply quota, a minimal set of configuration properties is maintained by the server. An auto apply quota is similar to a directory quota in terms of the abstract data model maintained by the server implementation; however, the behavior is fundamentally different. A directory quota configuration is applied to a particular folder; an auto apply quota configuration results in the application of directory quota configurations to the subfolders of the folder on which the auto apply quota is configured. An auto apply quota configuration is maintained only for objects with paths on a volume in the Volume List (section 3.2.1).

There is no state data for an auto apply quota. With the exception of the Auto apply quota id, the configuration data of an auto apply quota is the same as that is specified for a directory quota (section 3.2.1.2.1), with the following addition:

Exclude folders: This property is a list of subfolders that are excluded from tracking and limiting of disk space usage if they exist or are created immediately underneath the auto apply quota folder path.
