This page is written by Marco Göbenich <mg at needful de>.
I only summarized this topic in english because of the japanese
website of Teruyuki SATAKE <satake at goodcrew ne jp>
who has also written this patch. See his website at
http://www.geocities.co.jp/Hollywood/4471/webdav/webdav.html.

Apache configuration: (top)

Only the DAVSATMaxAreaSize directive is added with this patch.
This directive takes only one argument, allowed size in KB of this directory.
Then mod_dav restricts the capacity of the specified directory.

DAVLockDB  /usr/local/apache2/logs/DAVLock
Alias     /dav-test-one     "/var/NAS/00001"
<Directory "/var/NAS/00001">
      DAV on
      #
      #     The capacity below this directory is restricted to 100MBytes.
      #
      DAVSATMaxAreaSize 102400
      Options FollowSymLinks
      AllowOverride All
      Order allow,deny
      Allow from all
</Directory>

Alias     /dav-test-two     "/var/NAS/00002"
<Directory "/var/NAS/00002">
      DAV on
      #
      #     The capacity below this directory is restricted to 100KBytes.
      #
      DAVSATMaxAreaSize 100
      Options FollowSymLinks
      AllowOverride All
      Order allow,deny
      Allow from all
</Directory>

In this example, capacity restriction is carried out at "/dav-test-one" 100MBytes,
and capacity restriction of "/dav-test-two" is carried out at 100KB.
