About:
Quotatool is a command-line utility for managing disk quotas on Linux and Unix-like systems. It allows administrators to set, modify, and remove user and group quotas on specific filesystems. The tool provides a straightforward alternative to manual editing of quota files, supporting both user and group quota types.
Key Features:
  • Command-line interface for scripting and automation
  • Supports both user and group quotas
  • Works with standard Linux quota systems (quota v1 and v2)
  • Can set quotas by size or inode count
Use Cases:
  • Managing disk usage for users on shared hosting servers
  • Automating quota setup in system provisioning scripts
  • Enforcing storage limits in multi-user environments
Alternatives:
  • setquota – setquota is part of the quota-tools package and offers similar functionality but with a different command syntax
  • edquota – edquota opens an editor to modify quota files directly, while quotatool allows non-interactive command-line changes
