vfs_default_quota - store default quota records for Windows clients

       The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed
       by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed.

Samba 4.22.3-Ubuntu-4.22.3+dfs                     07/21/2025                               VFS_DEFAULT_QUOTA(8)

       This VFS module is part of the samba(7) suite.

       Many common quota implementations only store quotas for users and groups, but do not store a default
       quota. The vfs_default_quota module allows Samba to store default quota values which can be examined
       using the Windows Explorer interface.

       By default, Samba returns NO_LIMIT the default quota and refuses to update them.  vfs_default_quota maps
       the default quota to the quota record of a user. By default the root user is taken because quota limits
       for root are typically not enforced.

       This module is stackable.

       Store the default quota record in the quota record for the user with ID 65535 and report that user as
       having no quota limits:

                   [global]vfsobjects=default_quotadefault_quota:uid=65535default_quota:uidnolimit=yes

       default_quota:uid = UID
           UID specifies the user ID of the quota record where the default user quota values are stored.

       default_quota:gid = GID
           GID specifies the group ID of the quota record where the default group quota values are stored.

       default_quota:uid nolimit = BOOL
           If this parameter is True, then the user whose quota record is storing the default user quota will be
           reported as having a quota of NO_LIMIT. Otherwise, the stored values will be reported.

       default_quota:gid nolimit = BOOL
           If this parameter is True, then the group whose quota record is storing the default group quota will
           be reported as having a quota of NO_LIMIT. Otherwise, the stored values will be reported.

       vfs objects = default_quota
