Hello all,
We want to enforce File System quotas for users.
We have modified the vfstab and also stored quotas file
under different filesystem. We want to do the quota setting
as part of our installation procedure, which doesn't have user interaction.
But to set the quotas, we need to use edquota, which is interactive.
How can we set quotas using a file for the file system quotas?

Best Regards,
Pradeep
