When I do an edquota, I get a "template" in my editor, and just
change the numbers. It comes up like this:
/: blocks in use: 0, limits (soft = 2000, hard = 20000)
inodes in use: 1, limits (soft = 100, hard = 1000)
/u: blocks in use: 102919, limits (soft = 200000, hard = 300000)
inodes in use: 4019, limits (soft = 0, hard = 0)
...etc.
If the user has no quotas at all, there will be no "template". Use
edquota -p <username> to set the quota to the same as username's
quota, and then edit from there.
