Quota to be provided for Folder in Ubuntu Server

Sorry the partition should not be LVM and the manual partition is done for the HDD available space of 3 TB
"Should not be LVM"? That's an odd statement. All server Linux storage should be LVM. That is how you have necessary controls (like we are discussing here), flexibility and protection. Without LVM you can't take snapshots.

Demonstrating why LVM should be there. Now you need to start over because you skipped the step that would allow you to do what you want here.

Without making a different filesystem, I am not sure that you can have a quota at the folder level. You will have to have quotas for the entire filesystem. And there isn't a way to limit the folder, the storage used for the folder will impact the root filesystem.
-
There is no storage used for the server but the folder should have 1 TB of limit and then only the mounting will be done at the master server by NFS

Folder limits don't exist. What you need is a file system limit. That is what LVM is for.

I have found gdisk debian file for creating partition for GPT.Now I can be able found but whether any package is need to be downloaded because the server does not have internet.
How to download the whole package with dependency files also ???
-
I don't believe that you can use gdisk after the system has been set up. But maybe you can, if it is an offline tool. There are whole distros made just for this. You can also use an Ubuntu Live DVD.

i have used ubuntu server cd 14.04 64 bit.but not able to download whole gdisk in one debian file.
Any links to download whole debian file one package -

Any links to download whole debian file one packageIsn't GDisk included in the Live DVD already? Maybe not, but I thought that it was.

I'm not sure what all files are needed for it, unfortunately.

gparted gives an error no free sector available and parted not able to to partition the harddisk in ext4 method,
now gdisk is found but the link is not able to do -

any link to download the gdisk now

many dependency files are there for here to download. any link to download as whole file

I see. No, this is the "whole file." The dependencies would never be a part of it. It's not that this is not whole, it just requires parts of the operating system that are not installed. Unfortunately you would need to track them all down and download each of them.
You can download all files for Ubuntu 14.04 and carry them on a USB stick so that you have anything that you might need. That's probably what I would do. Annoying to have to download so much, but then you are ready for anything.

you are right but the installation will be somewhat difficult to carry out

Quite difficult, yes. It is a horrible way to have to do it but it should work just fine. It is relatively common to approach it this way. You can also turn the USB stick into an APT repo and it will do things automatically for you but that might be even more work. If this was CentOS and YUM I know how to do it easier and it would make sense. Ubuntu and APT I am not sure if it is super easy or a big pain.

Will see tommorrow whether it is super easy or big pain.Working on it now also
