Why each option
In Data ONTAP, the root user is exempt from user and group quotas but remains subject to tree quotas, which are enforced on directories regardless of user identity.
Data ONTAP explicitly bypasses user quota enforcement for the root superuser account, so disk usage by root does not count against user quota limits.
Tree quotas are directory-based limits enforced for all users including root, so root is not exempt from tree quotas.
'Root quotas' is not a valid quota type in Data ONTAP - the three supported types are user, group, and tree.
Group quota checks are also skipped for root because root's group membership is not subject to the same quota accounting applied to regular users.
'File quotas' is not a recognized quota type in Data ONTAP's quota framework.
