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.  Note that if a number is given in the place of a
       user/group name it is treated as an UID/GID.

       -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, --prototype=protoname
              Use quota settings of user or group protoname to set the quota for the named user or group.

       --always-resolve
              Always try to translate user / group name to uid / gid 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. Times block-grace and inode-grace are specified in seconds.

       -T, --edit-times
              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, --all
              Go through all filesystems with quota in /etc/mtab and perform setting.

       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.

FILES

       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
