Exporting quotas to a file
Select the file system, select Quotas from the lower Navigator, and then click Export on the Quota
Summary panel.
Format of the quotas file
The quotas file contains a line for each user, group, or directory tree assigned a quota. When you
add quota entries, the lines must use one of the following formats. The “A” format specifies a user
or group ID. The “B” format specifies a user or group name, or a directory tree that has already
been assigned an identifier name. The “C” format specifies a directory tree, where the path exists,
but the identifier name for the directory tree will not be created until the quotas are imported.
A,{type},{block_hardlimit},{block_soft-limit},{inode_hardlimit},{inode_softlimit},{id}

C,{type},{block_hardlimit},{block_soft-limit},{inode_hardlimit},{inode_softlimit},
