      He can enable user-quotas, but it won't lock the users to storing files in just one folder.

        NO i need to create only one folder in the user to be shared in NFS at the master server.

          You need to make LVM logical volumes, make one of them 1TB in size and put the folder that you want to share as the root of it. Then you will have your controls where you need them.

            Sorry the partition should not be LVM and the manual partition is done for the HDD available space of 3 TB

              "Should not be LVM"? That's an odd statement. All server Linux storage should be LVM. That is how you have necessary controls (like we are discussing here), flexibility and protection. Without LVM you can't take snapshots.

                Demonstrating why LVM should be there. Now you need to start over because you skipped the step that would allow you to do what you want here.

                  Without making a different filesystem, I am not sure that you can have a quota at the folder level. You will have to have quotas for the entire filesystem. And there isn't a way to limit the folder, the storage used for the folder will impact the root filesystem.

                    There is no storage used for the server but the folder should have 1 TB of limit and then only the mounting will be done at the master server by NFS

                      Folder limits don't exist. What you need is a file system limit. That is what LVM is for.

                          I don't believe that you can use gdisk after the system has been set up. But maybe you can, if it is an offline tool. There are whole distros made just for this. You can also use an Ubuntu Live DVD.

                              Isn't GDisk included in the Live DVD already? Maybe not, but I thought that it was.

                                  Yes, I understand that you are offline. That is unfortunate that it is not on the CD, that would have been very practical.

                                  I'm not sure what all files are needed for it, unfortunately.

                                      Right, that is because the entire disk is already used. Normally partitioning is done before you start. It is specifically LVM that allows you to resize or add new partitions later.
