Yes, there is of course disk quota support in linux, as this is in fact a feature its Unix heritage. Disk quotas in Linux can be set in very fine granulated way and include all the fancy stuff like user and group-specific setting, as well as "hard/soft quota" or "grace periods". Setting up quotas requires 2 main steps ...

 

1: enabling quota support in the kernel

You'l find the checkbox for quotas under the "File systems"-section when you do a "make menuconfig" or "make xconfig"

 

2: installing the Quota-Tools

Which can be found here ...

 

Quota-Tools on Sourceforge

 

Compile and install these.

 

Those are the preliminaries ... now it's on to configuring disk quota. The complexity of this task depends on how specific you want the quotas to be. A good guide as to how to configure quotas can be found here ...

hope this helps
