DESCRIPTION
Thequotaon utility announces to the system that disk
quotas should be enabled on one or more file systems. The
quotaoff utility announces to the system that the
specified file systems should have any disk quotas turned off. The file
systems specified must have entries in /etc/fstab and
be mounted. The quotaon utility expects each file
system 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.
Available options:
-a- If supplied in place of any file system names,
quotaon/quotaoffwill enable/disable all the file systems 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- Cause
quotaonandquotaoffto print a message for each file system where quotas are turned on or off.
Specifying both -g and
-u is equivalent to the default.
