-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.

-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 ).

-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.  

aquota.user or aquota.group

quota file at the filesystem root (version 2 quota, non-XFS filesystems)

quota.user or quota.group
