(edquota man page has no examples)

# edquota -u -e /mnt/fs1:8100000:9000000:810000:900000 test200
# 
# quota test200
Disk quotas for user test200 (uid 1002): none
# 
#


So I run the edquota command non-iunteractively, and it produces no
errors, and it seems to follow the format specified in the man page, which
is:

edquota [-u] -e fspath[:bslim[:bhlim[:islim[:ihlim]]]] [-e ...] username

and yet when I immediately check the quotas for that user, I get nothing.

How should I rework that edquota command line ?

thanks.
