-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 quotaformat
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. | ||
−x |
Always try to translate name to id, even if it is composed of only digits. |
-p protoname
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.
aquota.user or aquota.group

quota.user or quota.group
