DESCRIPTION

       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.

FILES

       quota.user or quota.group
			   quota file at the filesystem root (version 1 quota, non-XFS filesystems)
       /etc/mtab	   mounted filesystem table
