SETQUOTA(8) System Manager's Manual SETQUOTA(8)
setquota - set disk quotas
setquota [ -rm ] [ -u | -g | -P ] [ -F quotaformat ] name block-
softlimit block-hardlimit inode-softlimit inode-hardlimit -a |
filesystem...
setquota [ -rm ] [ -u | -g | -P ] [ -F quotaformat ] [ -p
protoname ] name -a | filesystem...
setquota -b [ -rm ] [ -u | -g | -P ] [ -F quotaformat ] -a |

setquota -T [ -u | -g | -P ] [ -F quotaformat ] name block-grace
inode-grace -a | filesystem...
setquota is a command line quota editor. The filesystem,
user/group/project name and new quotas for this filesystem can be
specified on the command line. Note that if a number is given in
the place of a user/group/project name it is treated as an
UID/GID/project ID.
-r, --remote
Edit also remote 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.
-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,
setquota 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.
-F, --format=quotaformat
Perform setting 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)
-u, --user
Set user quotas for named user. This is the default.
-g, --group
Set group quotas for named group.
-P, --project
Set project quotas for named project.
-p, --prototype=protoname
Use quota settings of user, group or project protoname to
set the quota for the named user, group or project.
--always-resolve
Always try to translate user / group / project name to uid
/ gid / project ID even if the name is composed of digits
only.
-b, --batch
Read information to set from stdin (input format is name
block-softlimit block-hardlimit inode-softlimit inode-
hardlimit ). Empty lines and lines starting with # are
ignored.
-c, --continue-batch
If parsing of an input line in batch mode fails, continue
with processing the next line.
-t, --edit-period
Set grace times for users/groups/projects. Times block-
grace and inode-grace are specified in seconds.
-T, --edit-times
Alter times for individual user/group/project when
softlimit is enforced. Times block-grace and inode-grace
are specified in seconds or can be string 'unset'.
-a, --all
Go through all filesystems with quota in /etc/mtab and
perform setting.
block-softlimit and block-hardlimit are interpreted 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-softlimit and inode-hardlimit 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.
To disable a quota, set the corresponding parameter to 0. To
change quotas for several filesystems, invoke once for each
filesystem.
Only the super-user may edit quotas.
aquota.user or aquota.group
quota file at the filesystem root (version 2 quota, non-
XFS filesystems)
quota.user or quota.group
quota file at the filesystem root (version 1 quota, non-
XFS filesystems)
/etc/mtab
mounted filesystem table
