DESCRIPTION
       setquota  is  a  command line quota editor.  The filesystem, user/group
       name and new quotas for this filesystem can be specified on the command
       line.

       -r     Edit  also  remote quota use rpc.rquotad on remote server to set
              quota.

       -F 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     Set user quotas for named user. This is the default.

       -g     Set group quotas for named group.

       -p protoname
              Use  quota  settings of user or group protoname to set the quota
              for the named user or group.

       -t     Set grace times for users/groups. Times block-grace  and  inode-
              grace are specified in seconds.

       -a     Go  through  all filesystems with quota in /etc/mtab and perform
              setting.

       To disable a quota, set the coresponding parameter to 0. To change quo-
       tas for several filesystems, invoke once for each filesystem.

       Only the super-user may edit quotas.
