NAME

fs_setquota - Sets the quota for the volume containing a file or directory

SYNOPSIS

fs setquota [-path <dir/file path>] -max <max quota in kbytes> [-help]

DESCRIPTION

The fs setquota command (alias fs sq) sets the quota (maximum possible size) of the read/write volume that contains the directory or file named by the -path argument.

To set the quota on multiple volumes at the same time, use the fs setvol command.

To display a volume's quota, use the fs examine, fs listquota, or fs quota command.

CAUTIONS

Currently, the maximum partition size and volume quota is 16 zettabytes (2^74 bytes). Note that tools such as fs_listquota(1) can only report sizes up to 2 terabytes (2^41 bytes) when accessing a volume housed on an IBM AFS or OpenAFS File Server.

OPTIONS

-path <dir/file path>+

Names each AFS file or directory to run the command on. Partial pathnames are interpreted relative to the current working directory, which is also the default value if this argument is omitted.

Specify the read/write path to avoid the failure that results from attempting to change a read-only volume. By convention, the read/write path is indicated by placing a period before the cell name at the pathname's second level (for example, /afs/.example.com). For further discussion of the concept of read/write and read-only paths through the filespace, see the fs mkmount reference page.

-max <max quota>

Sets the maximum amount of file server disk space the volume can occupy. The quota value should be a positive integer followed by an optional suffix: K for kibibytes (1024 bytes, the default), M for mebibytes (1024 kibibytes), G for gibibytes (1024 mebibytes), and T for tebibytes (1024 gibibytes). A value of 0 sets an unlimited quota, but the size of the disk partition that houses the volume places an absolute limit on the volume's size.

If the -path argument is omitted (to set the quota of the volume housing the current working directory), the -max switch must be included with this argument.

-help

Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored.

EXAMPLES

The following command imposes a maximum quota of 3000 kilobytes on the volume that houses the /afs/your-cell-name.com/usr/smith directory:

   % fs setquota -path /afs/your-cell-name.com/usr/smith -max 3000

PRIVILEGE REQUIRED

The issuer must belong to the system:administrators group.
