DESCRIPTION
     quotaon announces to the system that disk quotas should be
     enabled on one or more file systems.  The file systems
     specified must be mounted at the time.  The file system
     quota files must be present in the root directory of the
     specified file system and be named quotas.

     quotaoff announces to the system that file systems specified
     should have any disk quotas turned off.

OPTIONS TO QUOTAON
     -a   All file systems in /etc/fstab marked read-write with
          quotas will have their quotas turned on.  This is nor-
          mally used at boot time to enable quotas.

          turned on.
