Editing user quotas

You can set up user quotas using the edquota command. You must have superuser privileges to edit quotas.

edquota creates a temporary file for the given user; this file contains on-disk quotas for each mounted file system that has a quotas file. It is not necessary that quotas be turned on for edquota to work. However, the quota limits are applicable only after quotas are turned on for a given file system.
