Yes it is possible to set quota using GID that is Group identification. There are commands like quotaon - which turns on and sets disk quota for users
quotaoff - which turns off disk quota for users
repquota - gives reports about quota
quotacheck- Checks file system on quotausage
But I think you would need to install for quota support in Linux. How to do this I am not aware. Hope someone post about this in this discussion.
