SETQUOTA(8)

NAME
setquota - set disk quotas

SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/setquota [ -u | -g ] name filesystem-name block-soft block-hard inode-soft inode-hard

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.

-u set user quotas for named user. This is the default

-g set qroup quotas for named group

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. (In order for quotas to be established on a file system, the root directory of the file system must contain a file, owned by root, called quota.user or quota.group. See quotaon(8) for details.)

FILES
quota.user or quota.group
    quota file at the file system root
