You'll remember that we also have another user john on this filesystem. If we want to give john the same quota as jane, we can use the -p option to edquota, which uses jane's quotas as a prototype for all following users on the command line. This is an easy way to set up quotas for groups of users.

# edquota -p jane john
# quota john

Disk quotas for user john (uid 1003):
