My understanding is databases reside within 'database clusters' in
postgresql. Is this right? Can I run multiple database clusters within
one postgresql/postmaster server? Then could I use filesystem quotas for
each cluster?
Thank you!

Hello,
You could use Filsystem quotas but I strongly suggest against it as it
will probably bring about database corruption.
A better solution would be to monitor the space being allocated so you
can add storage as required.
