NAME
quotaon, quotaoff - Turns filesystem quotas on or off
SYNOPSIS
quotaon [-guv] filesystem ...
quotaon -a [-guv]
quotaoff [-guv] filesystem ...
quotaoff -a [-guv]
FLAGS
-a Turns on (with quotaon) or turns off (with quota-
off) quotas for all filesystems identified in
/etc/fstab as read/write with quotas.
-g Turns on or off group quotas only.
-u Turns on or off user quotas only.
-v Prints a message for each filesystem whose quotas
are turned on or off.
DESCRIPTION
The quotaon command announces to the system that disk quotas
should be enabled on one or more filesystems. The filesys-
tems 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.
