Can I set a limit (quota) on my file system usage?

Currently, you can’t set a limit (quota) on your persistent storage file system usage.

You can see the usage of a persistent storage file system from within an instance by running df -h -BG. This command will produce output similar to:

Filesystem           1G-blocks  Used   Available Use% Mounted on
udev                       99G    0G         99G   0% /dev
tmpfs                      20G    1G         20G   1% /run

/dev/vda15                  1G    1G          1G   6% /boot/efi

In the example output, above:

• The name of the file system is persistent-storage.
• The size of the file system is 8589934592G (8 exabytes).
• The available capacity of the file system is 8589934592G.
• The used percentage of the file system is 0%.
• The file system is mounted on /home/ubuntu/persistent-storage.
