Here are the different commands you may want to use to manipulate disk quotas:

• quotaon,quotaoff This lets you turn on and off quotas on a partition.
• repquota This prints a status report for the different users or groups.
• quotacheck This checks a partition and updates the status of each group and user. This command is normally run right after an fsck at boot time.
• edquota This is a bare bones quota management utility. It allows you to edit a user record or group record directly. DO NOT USE THIS. It has no concept of defaults and any changes made with it may be overwritten by Linuxconf.
