Prepare XFS storage for user file system

Create directories for user file system:

$ sudo mkdir /home/webida/fs
$ soudo chown webida:webida /home/webida/fs

Create and Mount XFS to /home/webida/fs

$ sudo apt-get install xfsprogs
$ sudo mkfs.xfs </dev/sdaX> # create xfs filesystem
$ sudo mount -o pquota </dev/sdaX> /webida/fs # mount with pquota option
$ sudo touch /etc/projects /etc/projid # make pquota related files (?)
$ sudo chgrp webida /etc/projects /etc/projid # Set pquota related files writable (?)

Check the contents of /etc/fstab file:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
# / was on /dev/sda5 during installation
UUID=b854d7a8-e119-40a4-a043-a0fd32edf471 /               ext4    errors=remount-ro 0       1
# swap was on /dev/sda1 during installation
UUID=cd6ada1f-5832-4268-a8d2-3df70a167f41 none            swap    sw              0       0

/dev/sda7   /home/webida/fs         xfs defaults, pquota     1   2

Modify webida-server configuration file. See Configurations where's the configuration file & how to change configurable properties.(You should change conf.servies.fs.linuxfs)

// conf.js

...
fsPath: process.env.WEBIDA_FS_PATH || '/webida/fs',
...

** webida user should be able to run /usr/sbin/xfs_quota without password. see your sudores configuration **
