I want to implement userquota on this file system. I would like to
know the following:

1. Can I implement quota on this file system?
2. If I can, Can I do the following:

a. unmount /data
there is no need to do this.

b. mount with following command:
/dev/vg00/ftp_data /data xfs defaults,usrquota 1 2

this can also be written as:
/dev/vg00/ftp_data /data xfs usrquota 1 2

'defaults' is implicit and is just a placeholder in that field.

then try this:

mount -o remount /data
which will change the mount options on /data to match /etc/fstab.

c. quotacheck -avum

quotacheck -cm /data

d. quotaon -a

fine


d. then I will define the quota with "edquota username /data"

edquota username
is enough.
to do this non-interactively, you could use:
setquota -u <username> block_soft block_hard inode_soft inode_hard /data
e.g.
setquota -u bob 5120 5500 0 0 /data
