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
- at the filesystem root with group quotas
- /etc/fstab
