NAME
edquota - edit user quotas
SYNOPSIS
edquota [ -p protoname ] [ -u | -g ] [ -rm ] [ -F format-name ] [ -f filesystem ] user-
name...
edquota [ -u | -g ] [ -F format-name ] [ -f filesystem ] -t
edquota [ -u | -g ] [ -F format-name ] [ -f filesystem ] -T username | groupname...
DESCRIPTION
edquota is a quota editor. One or more users or groups may be specified on the command
line. If a number is given in the place of user/group name it is treated as an UID/GID.
For each user or group a temporary file is created with an ASCII representation of the
current disk quotas for that user or group and an editor is then invoked on the file. The
quotas may then be modified, new quotas added, etc. Setting a quota to zero indicates
that no quota should be imposed.
Block usage and limits are reported and interpereted 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 usage and limits 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.
Users are permitted to exceed their soft limits for a grace period that may be specified
per filesystem. Once the grace period has expired, the soft limit is enforced as a hard
limit.
The current usage information in the file is for informational purposes; only the hard and
soft limits can be changed.
Upon leaving the editor, edquota reads the temporary file and modifies the binary quota
files to reflect the changes made.
The editor invoked is vi(1) unless either the EDITOR or the VISUAL environment variable
specifies otherwise.
Only the super-user may edit quotas.
OPTIONS
-r, --remote
Edit also non-local quota use rpc.rquotad on remote server to set quota. This
option is available only if quota tools were compiled with enabled support for set-
ting quotas over RPC. The -n option is equivalent, and is maintained for backward
compatibility.
-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 pseudo-
root of NFS filesystem to the path. If you specify this option, edquota 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.
-u, --user
Edit the user quota. This is the default.
-g, --group
Edit the group quota.
-p, --prototype=protoname
Duplicate the quotas of the prototypical user specified for each user specified.
This is the normal mechanism used to initialize quotas for groups of users.
--always-resolve
Always try to translate user / group name to uid / gid even if the name is composed
of digits only.
-F, --format=format-name
Edit quota 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)
-f, --filesystem filesystem
Perform specified operations only for given filesystem (default is to perform oper-
ations for all filesystems with quota).
-t, --edit-period
Edit the soft time limits for each filesystem. In old quota format if the time
limits are zero, the default time limits in <linux/quota.h> are used. In new quota
format time limits must be specified (there is no default value set in kernel).
Time units of 'seconds', 'minutes', 'hours', and 'days' are understood. Time limits
are printed in the greatest possible time unit such that the value is greater than
or equal to one.
-T, --edit-times
Edit time for the user/group when softlimit is enforced. Possible values are
'unset' or number and unit. Units are the same as in -t option.
FILES
aquota.user or aquota.group
quota file at the filesystem root (version 2 quota, non-XFS filesys-
tems)
quota.user or quota.group
quota file at the filesystem root (version 1 quota, non-XFS filesys-
tems)
/etc/mtab mounted filesystems table
