edquota(8) edit user quotas

SYNOPSIS

edquota [ -p protoname ] [ -u | -g ] [ -rm ] [ -F format-name ] [ -f filesystem ] username...

edquota [ -u | -g ] [ -F format-name ] [ -f filesystem ] -t

edquota [ -u | -g ] [ -F format-name ] [ -f filesystem ] -T username | groupname...

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 setting 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 pseudoroot 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 operations 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.
