Package: quotatool
Version: 1.4.12-1
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-l10n-engl...@lists.debian.org
Dear Maintainer,
reviewing a translation of the package description (1) I found that
it mixes the terms filesystem quota und disk quota. It is basically
the upstream description (2) with the last sentence added.
I'm not sure whether they mean exactly the same. I'm also unsure
whether the average (novice) user knows the term quota.
As the manpage (3) describes
is a tool for manipulating filesystem quotas. Depending on the
commandline options given, it can set hard or soft limits on block and
inode usage, set and reset grace periods, for both users and (if your
system supports this) groups. The filesystem to set the quota on is
given as the first (and only) non-option element, and it is either the
block special file (i.e /dev/sda3) or the mount point (i.e. /home) for
the filesystem.
the tool deals with the setting of ressource limits/limitations.
As starting point for further discussion please consider my suggestion:
non-interactive command line tool to limit disk usage
Quotatool can both set hard or soft limits on block and inode usage and
set and reset grace periods.
.
Most quota-utilities are interactive, requiring manual intervention
from the user. Quotatool on the other hand is not, making it suitable
for use in scripts and other non-interactive situations. This is very
useful to edit disk quotas from scripts.
Kind regards,
Martin
