=== Quota Command Options ===
flags.</b> <br>
All these options are required in <b>init</b> command, and
optionally accepted in <b>on</b> and <b>setlimit</b>
commands.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>−s</b>,
<b>--sub−quotas 1</b><i>|</i><b>0</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:22%;">Enables or disables user/group
based quota inside the container. Here <b>1</b> means to
enable, and <b>0</b> - to disable. By default user/group
quota is disabled. This option is accepted by <b>init</b>
and <b>on</b> commands.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>−u</b>
<i>user_id</i></p>
<p style="margin-left:22%;">For <b>setlimit2</b> command
only. Limits will be applied to the specified
<i>user_id</i>.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>−g</b>
<i>group_id</i></p>
<p style="margin-left:22%;">For <b>setlimit2</b> command
only. Limits will be applied to the specified
<i>group_id</i>.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>−u</b>,
<b>--ugid−limit</b> <i>limit</i></p>
<p style="margin-left:22%;">For <b>on</b> and
<b>setlimit</b> commands only. Specifies maximum number of
user and group IDs allowed in the container. If the value is
<b>0</b>, user/group quota will not be accounted. Default
value is <i>0</i>. There is one note concerning
<b>setlimit</b> command. If first-level quota is running,
second-level quota is active and not all ugid objects were
loaded into kernel by <b>on</b> command due to insufficient
<i>ugid_limit</i> value (this can be checked by issuing
<b>stat -t</b> command and observing whether ugid limit was
exceeded), then <b>setlimit</b> with new <i>limit</i> value
updates it in kernel and file but this change does not take
immediate effect. Modification will be applied after quota
restart.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>−b</b>,
<b>--block−softlimit</b> <i>bsl</i></p>
<p style="margin-left:22%;">Disk quota block soft limit.
Soft limit is amount of blocks which excess is allowed in
time equal <i>exptime</i>. On the expiration of this time
soft limit becomes hard limit. Block limits are set in 1k
sized blocks.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>−B</b>,
<b>--block−hardlimit</b> <i>bhl</i></p>
<p style="margin-left:22%;">Disk quota block hard limit.
Hard limit is amount of blocks which excess is not
allowed.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>−e</b>,
<b>--block−exptime</b> <i>bet</i></p>
<p style="margin-left:22%;">Disk quota expiration time for
excess of a block soft limit. Time can be given in two
different formats: <br>
1. <i>dd:hh:mm:ss</i> <br>
For instance: <i>30</i> - 30 seconds; <i>12:00</i> - 12
minutes; <i>20:15:11:00</i> - 20 days, 15 hours, 11 minutes
<br>
2. <i>xxA</i>, where <i>A</i> - h/H(hour); d/D(day);
w/W(week); m/M(month); y/Y(year). <br>
For instance: <i>7D</i> - 7 days; <i>01w</i> - 1 week;
<i>3m</i> - 3 months</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>−i</b>,
<b>--inode−softlimit</b> <i>isl</i></p>
<p style="margin-left:22%;">Disk quota inode soft limit.
Similarly to block soft limit.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>−I</b>,
<b>--inode−hardlimit</b> <i>ihl</i></p>
<p style="margin-left:22%;">Disk quota inode hard
limit.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>−n</b>,
<b>--inode−exptime</b> <i>iet</i></p>
<p style="margin-left:22%;">Disk quota expiration time for
excess of a inode soft limit.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>Quota options. <br>
−p</b> <i>path</i></p>
<p style="margin-left:22%;">Point of quota accounting for
given <i>quota_id</i>. This option required for <b>init</b>
command and can be used also with any another command to
override quota path obtained from quota file. For <b>on</b>
and <b>setlimit</b> commands, this option can be used to set
and save new quota accounting path for given
<i>quota_id</i></p>

<td width="78%">
<p>Set special relative path to <i>quota_file</i>. If this
option is specified, quota file location will depends on
path to quota accounting dir: if your quota accounting path
is /path/to/<i>somewhere</i>/ than quota file will be
/path/to/quota.<i>somewhere</i>. If this option is not
specified, quota file location is
/var/vzquota/quota.<i>quota_id</i>. All commands accept this
option.</p> </td></tr>

<p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>−c</b>
<i>quota_file</i></p>
<p style="margin-left:22%;">This option allows to specify a
<i>quota_file</i> to work with. All commands accept this
option. If this option is not specified, default file
location depends on whether <b>-R</b> option is specified or
not (see above).</p>

<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>Ugid limit

=== Quota Command Options ===
flags.</b> <br>
All these options are required in <b>init</b> command, and
optionally accepted in <b>on</b> and <b>setlimit</b>
commands.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>−s</b>,
<b>--sub−quotas 1</b><i>|</i><b>0</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:22%;">Enables or disables user/group
based quota inside the container. Here <b>1</b> means to
enable, and <b>0</b> - to disable. By default user/group
quota is disabled. This option is accepted by <b>init</b>
and <b>on</b> commands.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>−u</b>
<i>user_id</i></p>
<p style="margin-left:22%;">For <b>setlimit2</b> command
only. Limits will be applied to the specified
<i>user_id</i>.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>−g</b>
<i>group_id</i></p>
<p style="margin-left:22%;">For <b>setlimit2</b> command
only. Limits will be applied to the specified
<i>group_id</i>.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>−u</b>,
<b>--ugid−limit</b> <i>limit</i></p>
<p style="margin-left:22%;">For <b>on</b> and
<b>setlimit</b> commands only. Specifies maximum number of
user and group IDs allowed in the container. If the value is
<b>0</b>, user/group quota will not be accounted. Default
value is <i>0</i>. There is one note concerning
<b>setlimit</b> command. If first-level quota is running,
second-level quota is active and not all ugid objects were
loaded into kernel by <b>on</b> command due to insufficient
<i>ugid_limit</i> value (this can be checked by issuing
<b>stat -t</b> command and observing whether ugid limit was
exceeded), then <b>setlimit</b> with new <i>limit</i> value
updates it in kernel and file but this change does not take
immediate effect. Modification will be applied after quota
restart.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>−b</b>,
<b>--block−softlimit</b> <i>bsl</i></p>
<p style="margin-left:22%;">Disk quota block soft limit.
Soft limit is amount of blocks which excess is allowed in
time equal <i>exptime</i>. On the expiration of this time
soft limit becomes hard limit. Block limits are set in 1k
sized blocks.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>−B</b>,
<b>--block−hardlimit</b> <i>bhl</i></p>
<p style="margin-left:22%;">Disk quota block hard limit.
Hard limit is amount of blocks which excess is not
allowed.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>−e</b>,
<b>--block−exptime</b> <i>bet</i></p>
<p style="margin-left:22%;">Disk quota expiration time for
excess of a block soft limit. Time can be given in two
different formats: <br>
1. <i>dd:hh:mm:ss</i> <br>
For instance: <i>30</i> - 30 seconds; <i>12:00</i> - 12
minutes; <i>20:15:11:00</i> - 20 days, 15 hours, 11 minutes
<br>
2. <i>xxA</i>, where <i>A</i> - h/H(hour); d/D(day);
w/W(week); m/M(month); y/Y(year). <br>
For instance: <i>7D</i> - 7 days; <i>01w</i> - 1 week;
<i>3m</i> - 3 months</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>−i</b>,
<b>--inode−softlimit</b> <i>isl</i></p>
<p style="margin-left:22%;">Disk quota inode soft limit.
Similarly to block soft limit.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>−I</b>,
<b>--inode−hardlimit</b> <i>ihl</i></p>
<p style="margin-left:22%;">Disk quota inode hard
limit.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>−n</b>,
<b>--inode−exptime</b> <i>iet</i></p>
<p style="margin-left:22%;">Disk quota expiration time for
excess of a inode soft limit.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>Quota options. <br>
−p</b> <i>path</i></p>
<p style="margin-left:22%;">Point of quota accounting for
given <i>quota_id</i>. This option required for <b>init</b>
command and can be used also with any another command to
override quota path obtained from quota file. For <b>on</b>
and <b>setlimit</b> commands, this option can be used to set
and save new quota accounting path for given
<i>quota_id</i></p>
