When implementing disk quotas, what consequence occurs if the limit is reached on a user account?

When disk quotas are implemented, they serve to limit the amount of disk space that a user account can utilize. Once a user reaches the quota limit, they are denied the ability to save any additional data until the quota is reset or increased by an administrator. This restriction is designed to ensure that disk space is managed effectively and fairly among users, preventing a single user from monopolizing storage resources.

This approach helps maintain system performance and ensures that the storage remains available for all users, preventing potential disruptions caused by a single user exceeding their designated space. Thus, when the limit is reached, users are effectively prohibited from saving further files, aligning with the intended purpose of disk quotas.
