SETQUOTA(8)

NAME
setquota - set disk quotas for users or groups

SYNOPSIS
setquota [-u] [-f fs] [-bhval] [-bsval] [-ihval] [-isval] user ...
setquota [-g] [-f fs] [-bhval] [-bsval] [-ihval] [-isval] group ...

DESCRIPTION
Setquota sets block and inode quotas for groups or users.

Options:

-u  Specify that operations should be performed on users. The -u flag is the default.

-g  Specify that operations should be performed on groups.

-f fs
    Specifies the filesystem to set quota information for. If fs does not have quotas enabled an error will result.

    Getquota doesn't operate on anything but UFS filesystems.

-bhval
    Block hard quota.

-bsval
    Block soft quota.

-ihval
    Inode hard quota.

-isval
    Inode soft quota.

Block sizes are in the form of valX where X is {K,k} for kilobytes or {M,m} for megabytes. The default unit is kilobytes.

Inode sizes have no modifiers. Cope.

FILES
quota.user
    located at the filesystem root with user quotas
quota.group
    located at the filesystem root with group quotas
/etc/fstab
    to find filesystem names and locations

BUGS
For some reason the grace period stuff doesn't work. Large portions of the mklist() code need to be rewritten. I'll do this as I have time. This man page needs to be rewritten.
