setup quota limit for user

[peterchu]

I want to setup the user size limit "edquota" , I want to let a specific user has 10M hard limit , 15 soft limit and 7 days grace period , I know "edquota -t" can set the grace period but it seems for whole system not for a specific user only , could suggest how can I set it ? thx.

thx replies ,

I tried to use "edquota -t" to have the below result, the system seems have 7 days grace period in default , how now I found that the user can only reach the hard quota limit , can't reach the soft quota limit , could suggest what is wrong ? why the user edpuser can't reach soft quota limit ? and is it possible to separate the grace period setting , eg . 7 days for general user , 14 days for mid-level user , 21 days for management user ? thx
