edquota: Edit quota for a group.
$ sudo edquota --group ${group}
try on your machine

The command sudo edquota --group ${group} is used to edit the disk quota for a specific group.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • sudo: It is used to execute the following command with administrative privileges. The user executing the command must have sudo access.
  • edquota: It is a command-line utility used to edit disk quotas for users or groups in Linux systems.
  • --group ${group}: It specifies the group for which you want to edit the disk quota. ${group} is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual group name.

By running this command, you will be able to modify the disk quota settings for the specified group. This can include setting limits on the amount of disk space that group members can consume and the number of inodes (file and folder entities) they can create.
