You will need to enable quotas (disk) first. See man 5 quota
for details on what needs to be setup before you can use them.
Then you use the edquota and quota commands to adminster sizes for particular users (see manpage for edquote and 1M quota).
Im from Palmerston North, New Zealand, but somehow ended up in London...
