Activate quota


After doing the right configuration, simply run the following command to enable quota for all configured users on /home file system:


# quotaon /home


Note: we can use quotaoff command to deactivate quota.


Assigning Group quota:


We can assign quota on group basis. For example, to set quota for group hardware, we will be using following command:


# edquota -g hardware


This command will display existing quota for group hardware, in text editor, as follows:


Disk quotas for group hardware (gid 504):


Filesystem blocks soft hard inodes soft hard


/dev/vol_gr0/log_vol1 220200 0 0 18709 0 0


We can modify the limits as per requirements, save the file and thereafter configure the quota. To verify that group quota has been set, run the following command:


# quota -g hardware


Note: The remaining procedure is same as we used for user quota.
