Thank you very much for your information. I have encountered another problem if I use this approach. The problem is I can change the database directory to another group which has quota. However, whatever mysql create new table, it will use its configrated group (namely 'mysql' in Redhat default rpm).
I think I can perform chgrp by a cron job at a regular interval. However, I will come back to my original problem that I can't limit disk usage at real time and a single program fault will make my server unfunctional. Thank you again for your valuable information and can you give me more help.
