How to limit the size of samba shares?

Question

linux

Hello! The question is rather strange.
There is a ball on the big section. It is necessary to make sure that it is impossible to put more than a certain total amount of data into it. Due to the specifics of the operation of this machine, it is impossible to "bite off" a part of the required size from a large section in order to create a ball on this section. Is there any way to implement it?

You can configure quotas at the Samba level. Or you can set up system quotas - for users.
Generally speaking, you can pervert very severely - for example, create a file of the required size and organize a file system inside it. Those. mount the file as a partition.
