Specifies the user, group, or qtree on which you want to impose restrictions. You can
assign more than one quota to a user or group, but only one quota to a qtree. The
entries can be in any order.

You specify a user with one of the following targets:
a file or subdirectory whose UID matches the user
the users name, as defined in the /etc/passwd file or the NIS password map
the users UID
The methods are equivalent, and inform the filer of the UID of the target. A file or
directory is used only as the source of a UID; there are no quota implications for that
file or directory. The UID of the user must not be 0.
Any file or subdirectory you use in the Quota Target field is referenced repeatedly
throughout the life of the system, so if you use a path name, choose a path name that
will last for as long as the user account remains on the system. For example, use a
users home directory for a user quota.

The methods are equivalent. A file or directory is used only as the source of a GID;
there are no quota implications for that file or directory. The GID of the group must
not be 0.

To create a tree quota, use the
quota qtree
command to create a directory in the
root directory of a volume. The quota target in the quotas file for a tree quota is the
complete path name of this directory.

Use an asterisk (*) in the Quota Target field to specify a default for the user or group
quotas. Defaults do not apply to tree quotas. The default value applies to the following
users or groups:
New users or groups that are created after the default entry has taken effect. For
example, if the maximum disk space for default user quotas is 500 MB, any new
user can use up to 500 MB of disk space.
Users or groups that are not explicitly mentioned in the quotas file. For example,
if the maximum disk space for default user quotas is 500 MB, users for whom
