FS_SETQUOTA(1) AFS Command Reference FS_SETQUOTA(1)NAMEfs_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]
fs setq [-p <dir/file path>] -m <max quota> [-h]
fs sq [-p <dir/file path>] -m <max quota> [-h]
DESCRIPTION
The fs setquota command 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 quota for a volume is 2 terabytes (2^41 bytes).
Note that this only affects the volume's quota; a volume may grow much
larger if the volume quota is disabled. However, volumes over 2
terabytes in size may be impractical to move, and may have their size
incorrectly reported by some tools, such as fs_listquota(1).
OPTIONS-path <dir/file path>
Names the directory or file for which to set the host volume's
quota. 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 the file or directory, 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/.abc.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/abc.com/usr/smith directory:
% fs setquota -path /afs/abc.com/usr/smith -max 3000
PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
The issuer must belong to the system:administrators group.
