edquota
is a quota editor. One or more users or groups may be specified on the command
line. For each user or group a temporary file is created with an
representation of the current disk quotas for that user or group and an editor
is then invoked on the file. The quotas may then be modified, new
quotas added, etc. Upon leaving the editor,
edquota
reads the temporary file and modifies the binary quota files to reflect
the changes made.
The editor invoked is
vi (1)
unless the
EDITOR
environment variable specifies otherwise.
Only the super-user may edit quotas. (In order for quotas to be
established on a file system, the root
directory of the file system must
contain a file, owned by root, called
quota.user
or
quota.group .
See
quotaon (8)
for details.)

Edit also non-local quota use rpc.rquotad on remote server to set quota.

-g
-p
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.

If the time limits are zero, the default time limits in
<linux/quota.h>
are used.
Time units of sec(onds), min(utes), hour(s), day(s), week(s), and month(s)
are understood.
Time limits are printed in the greatest possible time unit such that
the value is greater than or equal to one.
