   escaped alone to tell thee:

 What IS the format in which I should type the quota, I only see complains
 that my format isn't the right one... BUT WHY ISN'T THERE ANY
 DOCUMENTATION ON WHAT IS THE RIGHT ONE!!

There is a mini-HOWTO on my slink system called, simply, Quota.

I have the Howtos and FAQ's in my Lynx startup screen. You make convenient
what you repeatedly use. :)

Easy quota question

2000-03-15 Thread Ron Rademaker
I'm trying to set some quota's but I think the documentation is kinda
poor. I do: edquota USER, and vi is invoked, so I want to set the quota
for this user... HOW I checked all the manpages of quota, the
/usr/doc/quota I CAN'T FIND THE FORMAT IN WHICH I SHOULD TYPE THE
QUOTA I think this should definately be CHANGED!
I've tried:
/dev/hda1   50001
/dev/hda1:5000:1
/dev/hda1   5000
All just won't do it

What IS the format in which I should type the quota, I only see complains
that my format isn't the right one... BUT WHY ISN'T THERE ANY
DOCUMENTATION ON WHAT IS THE RIGHT ONE!!

PS. Sorry for the CAPITAL, but I'm going a bit insane because of the poor
documentation!
