question: about the new disk_quota configuration option

[Malte]

1) As of 4.7 is it possible to disable the per-user file quota before installation of dm4?

For example, through setting disk_quota value to "-1"?

# Standard disk quota (for file uploads) allocated to each user (in MB).
# Note: individual (per-user) disk quotas can be configured by an administrator (using the Webclient).
dm4.filerepo.disk_quota=-1

2) Is this quota_value setting really per-user (=across all workspaces a user is member in, as the comment states) or per-workspace?

3) Is the quota_value somehow related to the per-workspace file repo flag? Initiall i thought so but now i think i may be wrong.

Thank you for any clarifications!

This is not yet supported. You could write a ticket resp. reopen #812.

It is per-user. The quota check retrieves all File topics by creator and adds the sizes of the actual files. (BTW: the quota check fails if any file is missing. This is what you encountered in #874.)

No. See 2)

Meanwhile disabling the disk quota is supported.
