6 | .SH SYNOPSIS |
---|
7 | .B setquota |
---|
8 | [-u] |
---|
9 | .I special 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 | .B setquota |
---|
44 | will return a non-zero status if the user is not root, if the uid is |
---|
45 | not between 0 and 32767 inclusive, if the low-uid is higher than the |
---|
46 | high-uid, if the quota is less than zero, or if quotas are not enabled |
---|
47 | on the given device or partition. |
---|
48 | |
---|
49 | The previous bug which required the user to manually grow the quotas |
---|
50 | file is fixed. |
---|
51 | .B setquota |
---|
52 | automatically grows the quotas file if necessary. |
