I have following scenarios:

Single partition mounted as /, with lots of disk space.

There is a range of directories (/pg/tbs1, /pg/tbs2, /pg/tbs3 and so on), and I would like to limit total size of these directories.

One option is to make some big files, and then mkfs them, and mount over loopback, and then set quota, but this makes expansion a bit problematic.

Is there any other way to make the quota work per directory?
