  • DESCRIPTION
      setquota is a command line quota editor. The filesystem, user/group name and new quotas for this filesystem can be specified on the command line. Note that if a number is given in the place of a user/group name it is threated as an UID/GID.
      -r
      Edit also remote quota use rpc.rquotad on remote server to set quota. This option is available only if quota tools were compiled with enabled support for setting quotas over RPC.
      -F <2>quotaformat<1>
      Perform setting for specified format (ie. don't perform format autodetection). Possible format names are: vfsold (version 1 quota), vfsv0 (version 2 quota), rpc (quota over NFS), xfs (quota on XFS filesystem)
      -u
      Set user quotas for named user. This is the default.
      -g
      Set group quotas for named group.
      -p <2>protoname<1>
      Use quota settings of user or group protoname to set the quota for the named user or group.
      -b
      Read information to set from stdin (input format is name block-softlimit block-hardlimit inode-softlimit inode-hardlimit ).
      -t
      Set grace times for users/groups. Times block-grace and inode-grace are specified in seconds.
      -T
      Alter times for individual user/group when softlimit is enforced. Times block-grace and inode-grace are specified in seconds or can be string 'unset'.
      -a
      Go through all filesystems with quota in /etc/mtab and perform setting.

      To disable a quota, set the coresponding parameter to 0. To change quotas for several filesystems, invoke once for each filesystem.

      Only the super-user may edit quotas.
