NAME
quotas - quota description file
SYNOPSIS
/etc/quotas
DESCRIPTION
The /etc/quotas file describes disk quotas that go into effect when quotas are
enabled. All quotas are established on a per-volume basis. If a volume name is
not specified in an entry of the /etc/quotas file, the entry applies to the root
volume.
The following sample /etc/quotas file describes different kinds of quotas:
The first non-comment line in the file restricts the user mhoward to 500 MB of
disk space and 51,200 files in the root volume. The second line restricts the user
lfine to 500 MB of disk space in the home volume, but places no restriction on
the number of files he can have. You can leave the file limit blank to indicate that
no limit is imposed but you cannot omit the value for disk space. The third line
places no restriction on either disk usage or file usage by using a limit field of -.
This may be useful for tracking usage on a per-user or per-group basis without
imposing any usage limits.
The next two lines restrict the stooges group and the /vol/vol0/export qtree to
750 MB and 76,800 files each in the root volume.
