| 4 | .SH NAME |
| 5 | setquota \- set the disk usage quotas for a given user and partition |
| 6 | .SH SYNOPSIS |
| 7 | .B setquota |
| 8 | [-u] |
| 9 | .I special uid quota |
| 10 | .br |
| 11 | .B setquota |
| 12 | -r [-u] |
| 13 | .I special low_uid high_uid quota |
| 14 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
| 15 | .I Setquota |
| 16 | will set the hard and soft limits on disk usage and inode |
| 17 | usage for the user with |
| 18 | .I uid |
| 19 | on the partition |
| 20 | .I special. special |
| 21 | can be either the block device name (ie. |
| 22 | .I /dev/rz3g |
| 23 | ) or the directory it's mounted on. (ie. |
| 24 | .I /u1 |
| 25 | ). The user's soft disk usage limit will be set to |
| 26 | .I quota. |
| 27 | The soft inode usage limit will be set to half that amount. |
| 28 | The hard limits will be set to 1.2 times the soft limits. |
| 29 | .SH OPTIONS |
| 30 | If the |
| 31 | .B \-u |
| 32 | option is given, then the specified |
| 33 | .I quota |
| 34 | will be added to the current usage to obtain the new soft limit. The |
| 35 | remaining values are then set relative to this as specified above. |
| 36 | If the |
| 37 | .B \-r |
| 38 | option is given, then all the quotas for the inclusive range of uid's |
| 39 | are set to the given quota (plus usage with the |
| 40 | .B \-u |
| 41 | option). |
| 42 | .SH DIAGNOSTICS |
| 43 | An error will occur if you attempt to set the quota for a user whose |
| 44 | uid is higher than any other recorded in the quotas file. To fix |
| 45 | this, you must grow the quotas file first. |
