The fields in each line are:

{type}

Either 0 for a user quota; 1 for a group quota; 2 for a directory tree quota.

{block_hardlimit}

The maximum number of 1K blocks allowed for the user, group, or directory tree. (1 MB =
1024 blocks).

{block_soft-limit}

The number of 1K blocks that, when reached, starts the countdown timer.

{inode_hardlimit}

The maximum number of files allowed for the user, group, or directory tree.

{inode_softlimit}

The number of files that, when reached, starts the countdown timer.

{id}

The UID for a user quota or the GID for a group quota.

{name}

A user name, group name, or directory tree identifier.

{path}

The full path to the directory tree. The path must already exist.

NOTE:

When a quotas file is imported, the quotas are stored in a different, internal format.

When a quotas file is exported, it contains lines using the internal format. However, when adding
entries, you must use the A, B, or C format.

Using online quota check

Online quota checks are used to rescan quota usage, initialize directory tree quotas, and remove
directory tree quotas. There are three modes:

FILESYSTEM_SCAN mode. Use this mode in the following scenarios:

You turned quotas off for a user, the user continued to store data in a file system, and
you now want to turn quotas back on for this user.

You are setting up quotas for the first time for a user who has previously stored data in
a file system.

You renamed a directory on which quotas are set.

You moved a subdirectory into another parent directory that is outside of the directory
having the directory tree quota.

DTREE_CREATE mode. After setting quotas on a directory tree, use this mode to take into
account the data used under the directory tree.

DTREE_DELETE mode. After deleting a directory tree quota, use this mode to unset quota IDs
on all files and folders in that directory.

CAUTION:

When ibrix_onlinequotacheck is started in DTREE_DELETE mode, it removes

quotas for the specified directory. Be sure not to use this mode on directories that should retain
quota information.
