You may want to check if disk quota is enabled in your server partition or not. Just do the following to check it:

Edit /etc/fstab file. You will find screen something like below:

LABEL=/home /home ext3 defaults,usrquota,grpquota 1

You can see usrquota,grpquota lines in /home partition that means quota is enabled for user accounts and group for the partition /home.

If the quotas are not enabled then you can enable it via following below steps.

1. Enable quotas per file system by modifying /etc/fstab
2. Remount the file system(s)
3. Create the quota files and generate the disk usage table
4. Assign quotas
