101 indicates that allocations should be permitted only on

105 The current usage information in the file is for informational purposes;
106 only the hard and soft limits can be changed.

118 specified for each user specified.
119 This is the normal mechanism used to
120 initialize quotas for groups of users.
121 If the user given to assign quotas to is a numerical uid
122 range (e.g. 1000-2000), then
124 will duplicate the quotas of the prototypical user
125 for each uid in the range specified. This allows
126 for easy setup of default quotas for a group of users.

195 Users are permitted to exceed their soft limits
196 for a grace period that may be specified per filesystem.
197 Once the grace period has expired,
198 the soft limit is enforced as a hard limit.
199 The default grace period for a filesystem is specified in

216 Setting a grace period to zero indicates that the default
217 grace period should be imposed.
