setquota is a command line quota editor. The filesystem,
user/group/project 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/project name it is treated as an
UID/GID/project ID.
-r, --remote
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.
-m, --no-mixed-pathnames
Currently, pathnames of NFSv4 mountpoints are sent without
leading slash in the path. rpc.rquotad uses this to recognize
NFSv4 mounts and properly prepend pseudoroot of NFS filesystem
to the path. If you specify this option, setquota will always
send paths with a leading slash. This can be useful for legacy
reasons but be aware that quota over RPC will stop working if
you are using new rpc.rquotad.
-F, --format=quotaformat
Perform setting for specified format (ie. don't perform format
autodetection). Possible format names are: vfsold Original
quota format with 16-bit UIDs / GIDs, vfsv0 Quota format with
32-bit UIDs / GIDs, 64-bit space usage, 32-bit inode usage and
limits, vfsv1 Quota format with 64-bit quota limits and usage,
rpc (quota over NFS), xfs (quota on XFS filesystem)
-u, --user
Set user quotas for named user. This is the default.
-g, --group
Set group quotas for named group.
-P, --project
Set project quotas for named project.
-p, --prototype=protoname
Use quota settings of user, group or project protoname to set
the quota for the named user, group or project.
--always-resolve
Always try to translate user / group / project name to uid /
gid / project ID even if the name is composed of digits only.
-b, --batch
Read information to set from stdin (input format is name
block-softlimit block-hardlimit inode-softlimit inode-
hardlimit ). Empty lines and lines starting with # are
ignored.
-c, --continue-batch
If parsing of an input line in batch mode fails, continue with
processing the next line.
-t, --edit-period
Set grace times for users/groups/projects. Times block-grace
and inode-grace are specified in seconds.
-T, --edit-times
Alter times for individual user/group/project when softlimit
is enforced. Times block-grace and inode-grace are specified
in seconds or can be string 'unset'.
-a, --all
Go through all filesystems with quota in /etc/mtab and perform
setting.
block-softlimit and block-hardlimit are interpreted as multiples of
kibibyte (1024 bytes) blocks by default. Symbols K, M, G, and T can
be appended to numeric value to express kibibytes, mebibytes,
gibibytes, and tebibytes.
inode-softlimit and inode-hardlimit are interpreted literally.
Symbols k, m, g, and t can be appended to numeric value to express
multiples of 10^3, 10^6, 10^9, and 10^12 inodes.
To disable a quota, set the corresponding 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 file at the filesystem root (version 2
quota, non-XFS filesystems)
quota.user or quota.group
quota file at the filesystem root (version 1
quota, non-XFS filesystems)
/etc/mtab mounted filesystem table
