— Import User Quotas: Import user quotas into the system from an
external file (an exported file or a text version of an Excel spreadsheet in
the proper format, using the correct syntax). The file is read in, and quotas
are applied, for every user in that file. This allows you to apply quotas for
all users at once, instead of changing each individually.
— Export User Quotas: Exports all user quotas to a file. This file contains a
line for every user in the system as well as their particular quotas. (The
numbers in the line with "root" indicates the default values. "-1" means

settings. This file may be useful as a starting point for creating an import
user quota file.
