NAME

vquotaon, vquotaoff − turns quota enforcement on or off

SYNOPSIS

/usr/sbin/vquotaon [−guv] setname ... 

/usr/sbin/vquotaon −a [−guv]

/usr/sbin/vquotaoff [−guv] setname ... 

/usr/sbin/vquotaoff −a [−guv]

setnameSpecifies one or more filesets.  You can specify a fileset by using either the root directory (/usr/staff/myfileset) or domain#set. 

FLAGS

−aTurns on (with vquotaon) or turns off (with vquotaoff) quotas for all filesets identified in /etc/fstab as read/write with quotas. 

−gTurns on or off group quotas only. 

−uTurns on or off user quotas only. 

−vPrints a message for each fileset whose quotas are turned on or off. 

DESCRIPTION

The vquotaon and vquotaoff commands enable or disable user and group quotas that have been established using the vedquota command.  To turn the quotas on or off, the filesets specified must have the advfs rq,userquota,groupquota entry in the /etc/fstab file and be mounted at the time. 

These commands expect each fileset to have quota files named quota.user and quota.group in the root directory of the fileset.  (These default file locations may be overridden in the /etc/fstab file.) 

By default both user and group quotas are affected by the vquotaon and vquotaoff commands.  Use the −g flag to specify only group quotas or the −u flag to specify only user quotas. 

The vquotaon and vquotaoff commands are not used to manage fileset quotas. Fileset quotas can be set or cleared using the chfsets command. 

AdvFS always maintains user and group file and block usage in the quota files (quota.user and quota.group). User and group quota limit information displays with the showfsets command even if quota enforcement is turned off. 

RESTRICTIONS

You must have root-user privilege to use the vquotaon and vquotaoff commands.
