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
