# edquota

> Edit quotas for a user or group. By default it operates on all filesystems with quotas.
> Quota information is stored permanently in the `quota.user` and `quota.group` files in the root of the filesystem.
> More information: <https://manned.org/edquota>.

- Edit quota of the current user:

`edquota --user $(whoami)`

- Edit quota of a specific user:

`sudo edquota --user {{username}}`

- Edit quota for a group:

`sudo edquota --group {{group}}`

- Restrict operations to a given filesystem (by default edquota operates on all filesystems with quotas):

`sudo edquota --file-system {{filesystem}}`

- Edit the default grace period:

`sudo edquota -t`

- Duplicate a quota to other users:

`sudo edquota -p {{reference_user}} {{destination_user1}} {{destination_user2}}`
