Hi,

Unfortunately you'll have to use Solaris disk quotas for that. Make sure
that the table files of each restricted-space user count towards their
personal quotas. This means that you have to create a separate OS account
for each user you want to restrict with the quota. This also means that the
table files must be owned by those restricted users.

I hope this quota feature will be added into MySQL in the future.

Best regards,
Iikka
