Lab 19.2 : quota file with loop device

smarques

Hi,

Trying to understand quota file format and contents using edquota command.
following lab 19.2, I have following default setting using 'sudo edquota -u student'
Filesystem blocks soft hard inodes soft hard
/dev/loop2 2 0 0 1 0 0

What is block and inode column meaning here ? Is it supposed to be Filesystem capacity ?
Could not find description in course content.

Thanks,
Sylvain

look at `man edquota' as well.

Could not find structure detail on man page when editing quota.
After some tests, figured out block item is readonly and shows current used block per user or group.
Also fount this page giving detailed tutorial on managing quota
