Disable quota for a Linux user or group on the shell
Thursday, May 5, 2011 posted by Till
Linux user quotas can be edited with the commands edquota or setquota on the shell. While edquota opens the quota settings in a editor like vim, setquota allows you to specify the quota settings on the commandline.
Example for disabling the quota for the user “testuser”:
setquota -u testuser 0 0 0 0 -a
Example for disabling quota for the group “testgroup”:
setquota -g testgroup 0 0 0 0 -a
