Question

neo user tried by: dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/neo/somefile bs=1024 count=70 files created successfully. Again neo tried to create file having 70K using following command: dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/neo/somefile bs=1024 count=70 But he is unable to create the file. Make the user can create the file less then 70K.

Explanation

vi /etc/fstab LABEL=/home /home ext3 defaults,usrquota 0 0 To enable the quota on filesystem you should mount the filesystem with usrquota for user quota and grpquota for group quota.
touch /home/aquota.user ->Creating blank quota database file.
mount -o remount /home-> Remounting the /home with updated mount options. You can verify that /home is mounted with usrquota options or not using mount command.
quotacheck -u /home ->initialization the quota on /home
edquota -u neo /home-> Quota Policy editor See the snapshot Disk quotas for user neo (uid 500): Filesystem blocks soft hard inodes soft hard /dev/mapper/vo-myvol 2 30 70 1 0 0 Can you set the hard limit 70 and soft limit as you think like 30. Verify using the repquota /home command.
