Quota is set using the following data structures (from imap/quota.h in
cyrus-imapd-2.2.12):
#define QUOTA_UNITS (1024)
struct quota {
char *root;
/* Information in quota entry */
unsigned long used;
int limit; /* in QUOTA_UNITS */
};
So depending on your architecture (and thus sizeof(int)), your actuall
limit could vary from 32 MByte (16bit int) through 2147483648 kByte
(approx. 2 Terabyte - with 32bit int) to 9223372036854775808 kByte (8 *
2^30 Terabyte - with 64bit int).
Most systems use 32bit int, which gives you about 2 Terabyte of quota
with the default QUOTA_UNITS setting.
