Quotaon announces to the system that disk
quotas should be enabled on one or more filesystems.
Quotaoff announces to the system that the specified
filesystems should have disk quotas turned off. The filesystem must be
mounted and it must have the appropriate mount option file located at its
root, the .quota.ops.user file for user quota
configuration, and the .quota.ops.group file for
group quota configuration. Quotaon also expects each
filesystem to have the appropriate quota data files located at its root, the
.quota.user file for user data, and the
.quota.group file for group data. These filenames
and their root location cannot be overridden. By default,
quotaon will attempt to enable both user and group
quotas. By default, quotaoff will disable both user
and group quotas.
Available options:
-a-a flag is supplied in place of any
filesystem names,
quotaon/quotaoff will
enable/disable any filesystems with an existing mount option file at its
root. The mount option file specifies the types of quotas that are to be
configured.-g-u-vquotaon and
quotaoff to print a message for each filesystem
where quotas are turned on or off.Specifying both -g and
-u is equivalent to the default.
Quotas for both users and groups will automatically be turned on at filesystem mount if the appropriate mount option file and binary data file is in place at its root.
Each of the following quota files is located at the root of the mounted filesystem. The mount option files are empty files whose existence indicates that quotas are to be enabled for that filesystem.
quota(1), quotactl(2), edquota(8), quotacheck(8), repquota(8)
The quotaon command appeared in
4.2BSD.
