Limintation in size of a folder

Wed Sep 14, 2016 5:14 am
LM 17.3 KDE

How can a folder be limited in size to a certain number of GB?
How can a warning be displayed if the a volume of 90% is reached?

Thanks for hints!

Thanks for your kind and detailed explanations.

I do not want to set up a quota for a disk drive but only for a certain folder under my user directory.
