I need to have an ability to limit a certain process for using too much disk space.
Saw that this can be solved using containers (here).
Is there anyway to do that in a native way? (Ubuntu 16.04) Disk Quotas is the way to go here?

Quota? – Yes. Also check [project IDs](https://superuser.com/q/1441509/432690). – Kamil Maciorowski Jun 17 '20 at 11:16

Are these project IDs can be handled dynamically on the process level? seems that they are more like a constant configuration. In the user level quotas i can start a process using a specific user so it can get it limit no? – sborpo Jun 17 '20 at 14:58

Note that if you work through that answer about containers the solution only seems to work for xfs not for ext4. – Peter Gerdes Jul 31 '22 at 10:13
