Hello

I'd like to request the ability to give a maximum size you want a certain share to be. I read this post but I believe it would be possible if you allowed a script to run that basically checks the share size with du or so and then makes it read only if it's the given size or higher. 

I wanted to allow SFTP before I made an ubuntu vm for it and I noticed that with each reboot it would revert the files I changed (due to it being on RAM to limit write usage to the usb stick) so diy'ing this isn't possible as far as my knowledge goes on unraid. 

Thanks in advance

Not even a single reply... 

You don't usually get replies to feature requests, except sometimes by other users if they want the same (like +1), but requests are still checked and considered by LT.

You can make changes 'stick' by putting a copy of the changed files on the USB stuck and then adding the commands to copy them into their runtime position to either the config/go file on the USB stick or by doing it in a script to be run by the User Scripts plugin on first array start.

Not sure it is quite as easy as this, but if it is the DIY way to do this would be using the User Scripts plugin to run the appropriate command at regular intervals.

I should've made an edit. 

I'm doing it on the sftp server with this script (wrote it myself) already, on an ubuntu vm.

 

I'd like to see this feature as well. I know when setting up a Time Machine share via AFP previously I could set a max size. I just went to do it on a regular SMB share and realized you couldn't.

+1 for limit share size.

6.8 has an option for Time Machine, but it's help info is unclear if it is for any kind of user share or exclusively for TM.

+1, would be very helpful for time machine backups. 

+1 Why has this not been implemented? This is such a good idea and there is so many use cases for it.

+1

 

would be very helpful, is possible with my Qnap bulit in 2008, so definetly nothing new... ;)

+1

 

Users quotas or some kind of share size limit will be so sweat for all of our projects ! I wish it will be added to new versions

+1

Coming from FreeNAS this is missing...

+1 for size limits on individual shares.

 

Seems there is a bug in Hikvision cameras that wont allow them to save footage to a drive that reports itself as being greater than 250gb

I too have come from FreeNAS and would love to limit a share's max size.

+1 :-)

+100

This would be a really great feature to have

I, too, would like to add +1 this feature request. I, like a few others on this thread, have switched over from a QNAP NAS in which this was possible, and was definitely quite useful.
