He needs to set limits in a per-user base. His web app will always run
under the *same* user: nobody, apache, LOCAL SYSTEM or whatever. And to
make it worse, quotas work over system users. The users that register in
your web site do not count for the OS.

True. But each user is assigned their own directory, and he can limit the amount of space used by that directory.

See the original posting.


How can you do so if you don't put each directory in a separate partition?


By using the OS tools. Both Linux and Windows 2003 Server allow you to limit the amount of disk space used by a single directory.

See your system administrator for more information or check an OS related newsgroup.
