NAME
       setquota - set disk quotas

SYNOPSIS
       setquota [ -rm ] [ -u | -g ] [ -F quotaformat ] name block-softlimit block-hardlimit inode-softlimit inode-hardlimit -a |
       filesystem...

       setquota [ -rm ] [ -u | -g ] [ -F quotaformat ] [ -p protoname ] name -a | filesystem...

       setquota -b [ -rm ] [ -u | -g ] [ -F quotaformat ] -a | filesystem...

       setquota -t [ -m ] [ -u | -g ] [ -F quotaformat ] block-grace inode-grace -a | filesystem...

       setquota -T [ -m ] [ -u | -g ] [ -F quotaformat ] name block-grace inode-grace -a | filesystem...

DESCRIPTION
       setquota is a command line quota editor.  The filesystem, user/group name and new quotas for this filesystem can be spec-
       ified on the command line. Note that if a number is given in the place of a user/group name it is treated as an UID/GID.

       -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 trailing 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
              (version 1 quota), vfsv0 (version 2 quota), 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, --prototype=protoname
              Use quota settings of user or group protoname to set the quota for the named user or group.

       -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. Times block-grace and inode-grace are specified in seconds.

       -T, --edit-times
              Alter  times for individual user/group 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.

       To disable a quota, set the coresponding parameter to 0. To change quotas for several filesystems, invoke once  for  each
       filesystem.

       Only the super-user may edit quotas.

FILES
       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
