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

  1. 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.

  2. Specify the -g option to edit the quotas of one or more groups specified by groupname:
      # vxedquota -g groupname
