hey, I'm not quota expert, but I played with it and, to my understanding, you can do that as long /var/www/user_data is on a separate (ext2) partition; it works for reiserfs too, but you must pay attention to the kernel version to apply some patches. or, if you have your /var/ ,for example, mounted on a different partition, you can set quota for that partition, but beware that anything else written on var as that user counts against quota. a good document if you don't know how to do it is here: http://www.io.com/help/linux/Quota.html
