Quotas can also be assigned on a per-group basis. For example, to set a group quota for the devel group (the group must exist prior to setting the group quota), use the command:

 edquota -g devel 

This command displays the existing quota for the group in the text editor:

Disk quotas for group devel (gid 505):
  Filesystem                blocks    soft     hard    inodes    soft    hard
  /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol02  440400       0        0     37418       0       0

Modify the limits, save the file, and then configure the quota.

To verify that the group quota has been set, use the command:

quota -g devel
