MacOS: Using Volume Groups or Partitions to minimize case where filesystem is full?

What is the best practice to create a partition/volume with a max size, such that if a user fills the volume, another user can log in from an administrative account and resolve the problem? Typically in Unix like OSs, this is creation of /export or /opt on a separate file system with disk slice. The root account home directory would be in /home/root or /, which would also be a separate file system on a disk slice or partition. I considered volumes or partitions, creating one specifically for a user or perhaps one for storage. I think a volume with quota is most appropriate as it can grow to quota, without reserving the space. I'm asking because I'm exporting an NFS filesystem for use by my VM home directories. I considered the security use case where a VM fills up the NFS volume, which may cause a denial of service on MacOS user where the export point is located.
