Here
is an example of how the quotas could be changed:
#edquota
-u mlevan
Filesystem
blocks
soft hard
inodes
soft hard
/dev/hda7
988 25000
30000
123
800
1000
In
this example, the soft limit on the number of blocks that the user
mlevan could consume on the device /dev/hda7 (or the /home) partition
is 25000 blocks (or 25MB).
The
hard limit is 30000 blocks (or 30MB).
Soft
and hard limits on inodes are 800 and 1000, respectively.
If
mlevan passes these soft limits, then he has 7 days to get back under
the limit, or he will be blocked from using any more disk space or
inodes.
After
you have changed the settings for a user, run repquota
to see if the
settings are to your liking.
