NAME
     quotaon, quotaoff - turn file system quotas on and off

SYNOPSIS
     quotaon [-v] filesystem...
     quotaon [-av]

     quotaoff [-v] filesystem...
     quotaoff [-av]

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.  The options for
     quotaon are:

     -a   All file systems in /etc/mnttab marked read-write  with
          quotas  will  have their quotas turned on.  This option
          is normally used at boot time  to  enable  quotas.   It
          applies  only  to  file  systems  that have "rq" in the
          mntopts field of the /etc/vfstab file.

     -v   Display a message for each file system where quotas are
          turned on.  The options for quotaoff are:

     -a   Force all file systems in  /etc/mnttab  to  have  their
          quotas disabled.  This option applies only to file sys-
          tems that  have  "rq"  in  the  mntopts  field  of  the
          /etc/vfstab file.

     -v   Display a message for each file system affected.

     These commands update the status field of devices located in
     /etc/mnttab  to  indicate when quotas are on or off for each
     file system.
