The quota_nld service provides notifications to
users of disk space quota violations. It listens to the kernel via a netlink
socket for disk quota violations and notifies the appropriate user of the
violation using D-Bus or by sending a message to the terminal that the user has
last accessed.
The quota_nld
service can be disabled with the following command:
$ sudo systemctl mask --now quota_nld.service
If disk quotas are enforced on the local system, then the quota_nld service likely provides useful functionality and should remain enabled. However, if disk quotas are not used or user notification of disk quota violation is not desired then there is no need to run this service.
