Here is a link that will help you with that.

Quotas Setup

Quotas on Linux are tricky, not because they are difficult to setup, but
because they are so poorly documented, and what documentation exists is =
more
often than not incorrect to the point of not working. If you are using a
relatively recent Linux version, the following instructions should work
without difficulty.
Guidelines for Quotas

Virtualmin uses standard system disk quotas to limit user disk usage.
Because of this, all user data must reside on the same disk partition so
that the system can maintain an accurate accounting of disk use. The =
/home
partition is an excellent choice for the user data directory, due to =
UNIX
tradition and user expectations. This is why we moved the mail spool to =
a
directory on the /home partition in the mail server sections, so that =
all
mail will reside on the same partition.
Editing fstab

The first step to enabling quotas is to turn them on in the /etc/fstab
configuration file. You can do this in Webmin by browsing to the =
System:Disk
and Network Filesystems module. Then click on the /home partition link.
Finally, locate the Use Quotas? option and select User and Group from =
the
dropdown list. Save your changes.

You can also make this change manually, by editing the /etc/fstab in =
your
favorite editor, and modifying the /home mount point entry to look =
something
like this:

/dev/hda2      /home           ext3    defaults,usrquota,grpquota 1 1

The important bit of the above example is the addition of the usrquota =
and
grpquota directives. These two items enable both user and group quotas.

After adding quota support to your fstab, you'll need to remount the
filesystem, or reboot the system, to make the changes take effect.

Subject: [webmin-l] Using User Quotas

I have=A0users that I am allowing to store files on my server. How do I =
go
about=20
limiting the amount of storage space they are using? I do have User =
Quotas
set to User=20
and Group, however I don't know how to limit each user specifically.

Thanks
