How do I use quotas on a vxfs filesystem in Uw7/OSR6?

Quotas allow you to set limits on how much space is allotted to each user. These limits work on vxfs filesystems and can be hard or soft. They can limit the user by KB or by the number of files created.

Here is a cookbook method to create a quota on the /home filesystem so that yurtle is limited to 20MB and/or 1000 files in her home directory /home/yurtle:

      A.  Log in as root 

      B.  touch /home/quotas      <-- only if the file doesn't exist.

      C.  edquota -F vxfs yurtle
          In this file you will change the line so that it says:
            blocks soft=18000 hard=20000, inodes soft=900 hard=1000

      D.  quotaon -F vxfs -v /home

To see a report of the quota usage on a filesystem type the following:

      repquota -F vxfs /home
