SYNOPSIS
quotaon |
[-aguv ] filesystem

quotaoff |
[-aguv ] filesystem
... |
DESCRIPTION
quotaon
announces to the system that disk
quotas should be enabled on one or more filesystems.
quotaoff
announces to the system that the specified
filesystems should have any disk quotas turned off. The filesystems
specified must have entries in /etc/fstab and be
mounted. quotaon
expects each filesystem to have
quota files named quota.user and
quota.group which are located at the root of the
associated file system. These defaults may be overridden in
/etc/fstab. By default both user and group quotas
are enabled.
The options are as follows:
-a
- If the
-a
flag is supplied in place of any filesystem names,quotaon
/quotaoff
will enable/disable all the filesystems indicated in /etc/fstab to be read-write with disk quotas. By default only the types of quotas listed in /etc/fstab are enabled. -g
- Only group quotas listed in /etc/fstab should be enabled/disabled.
-u
- Only user quotas listed in /etc/fstab should be enabled/disabled.
-v
- Causes
quotaon
andquotaoff
to print a message for each filesystem where quotas are turned on or off.
Specifying both -g
and
-u
is equivalent to the default.
FILES
- quota.user
- at the filesystem root with user quotas
- quota.group
- at the filesystem root with group quotas
- /etc/fstab
- filesystem table
