| 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 |

| 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 | .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. |
