Disk quota management


  1.  Introduction

  Disk quotas are limits you place on the amount of disk space and files
  users or groups may use.  Diskquotaconf is a solution which integrate
  in the user account manager letting you control each user and group
  quotas.


  2.  Features


  2.1.  Inheritance

  For user quota, you set them at 3 levels: Global defaults, defaults
  for group members and per user settings.


  2.2.  Co-manager

  When you edit a user or group account, this module insert various
  fields in the dialog. This way everything related to a user or group
  is presented together.


  3.  Command lines

  The module provide few command line to set user and group quota and to
  upgrade the kernel state. Command line all start with:



               linuxconf --modulemain diskquotaconf



               --setuquota user --device device [ options ]
               --setgquota group --device device [ options ]
           --updatequota
               --help



  The --updatequota command will set the various limits for all users
  and groups on all file system, solving the inheritance for each user
  (group). This is generally used when you do a manual change to
  /etc/quota.conf and you want to make it effective in the kernel.  Or
  it may be used when a quota.user (group) file is re-created.
