Editing user and group quotas

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

vxedquota 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 vxedquota to work. However, the quota limits are applicable only after quotas are turned on for a given file system.

 To edit quotas

• Specify the -u option to edit the quotas of one or more users specified by username:

# vxedquota [-u] username

Editing the quotas of one or more users is the default behavior if the -u option is not specified.

• Specify the -g option to edit the quotas of one or more groups specified by groupname:

# vxedquota -g groupname
