Example:

In /etc/fstab I have

/dev/da0p6   /path/to/data ufs     rw,userquota     2       2
/path/to/data   /jails/jail1/insidejail/data   nullfs  rw  0  0

# execute

mount -a

# set quotas for some user:

edquota -u -e /home:100G:110G:1000000:1100000 prototypeuser

# set quota for range of userids same as that of user: prototypeuser

edquota -u -e /path/to/data:100G:110G:1000000:1100000 prototypeuser


You are done.


Thanks.
