In the past (last time I did this was on version 3.2 or 3.3) if you used 
mmsetquota and set a users quota to 0 then as far as GPFS was concerned 
it was like you had never set a quota.

This was notionally before per fileset quotas where a thing. In reality 
on my test cluster you could enable them and set them and they seemed to 
work as would be expected when I tested it.

Never used it in production on those versions because well that would be 
dumb, and never had to remove a quota completely since.

JAB.
