NAME

quotaon, quotaoff − Turns filesystem quotas on or off

SYNOPSIS

/usr/sbin/quotaon [−guv] filesystem ... 

/usr/sbin/quotaon −a [−guv]

/usr/sbin/quotaoff [−guv] filesystem ... 

/usr/sbin/quotaoff −a [−guv]

DESCRIPTION

The quotaon command announces to the system that disk quotas should be enabled on one or more filesystems. The filesystems specified must have entries in /etc/fstab and be mounted at the time. 

The quotaoff command announces to the system that any disk quotas on the specified filesystems specified should be turned off. 

quotaon and quotaoff must be run by a user with superuser authority. 

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

By default both user and group quotas are turned on or off.  The −g flag specifies that only group quotas should be affected; the −u flag specifies that only user quotas should be affected. 

FLAGS

−aTurns on (with quotaon) or turns off (with quotaoff) quotas for all filesystems 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 filesystem whose quotas are turned on or off.
