Need some detail in Quota edit file ?

[Yescha]

Hi "fluid11"
I've already done Quota setting and now I am getting confused with edquota -uid file. Can you or anyone make it clear in detail?
The file looks like this:

[root@localhost root]# edquota meusr
Disk quotas for user meusr (uid 502):
Filesystem blocks soft hard inodes soft
hard
/dev/hda8 310312 50000 0 3192 0
0
Can you explain what actually blocks, soft and hard meaning and what inodes, soft and hard meaning?
How to control them? I put 50000 as soft. Is this 50000Bytes or KB.

Have nice time.
Thanks.

When a user reaches a soft limit, the user will be warned, but will still be able to save to the disk. When a user reaches a hard limit, the user cannot save anything else to the disk. Grace period is the time after a user reaches a soft limit, before the soft limit becomes a hard limit.
