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 and
quotaoff to print a message for each filesystem
where quotas are turned on or off.
Specifying both -g and
-u is equivalent to the default.
- quota.user
- at the filesystem root with user quotas
- quota.group

The quotaon and quotaoff
commands appeared in 4.2BSD.
