You might want to look into the Linux quota system. This is based on a 
file system not a folder. remember that, in Linux, it is file systems 
and inodes that define where a file is, and directories are just 
incidental. Files do not reside in a folder or directory as the 
directory is only a special file that is a repository for file names.
