Description

Expected behaviour

A great new feature would be a directory-based quota. Which can be within the total quota limit, or can even be overwritten by any specific quota (even more than the total quota).

Actual behaviour

Only setting one total quota is possible.

Define the directory quota behavior, including whether it stays within the total limit or can override it, then verify that both directory-specific and total quota cases work as expected.
