QUOTAON(8) UNIX Programmer's Manual QUOTAON(8) NAME quotaon, quotaoff - turn file system quotas on and off SYNOPSIS /etc/quotaon [ -v ] _f_i_l_s_y_s... /etc/quotaon [ -v ] -a /etc/quotaoff [ -v ] _f_i_l_s_y_s... /etc/quotaoff [ -v ] -a DESCRIPTION _Q_u_o_t_a_o_n announces to the system that disc quotas should be enabled on one or more file systems. The file systems specified must have entries in /etc/fstab and 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 _q_u_o_t_a_s. The optional argument -v causes _q_u_o_t_a_o_n to print a message for each file system where quotas are turned on. If, instead of a list of file systems, a -a argument is give to _q_u_o_t_a_o_n, all file systems in /etc/fstab marked read-write with quotas will have their quotas turned on. This is nor- mally used at boot time to enable quotas. _Q_u_o_t_a_o_f_f announces to the system that file systems specified should have any disc quotas turned off. As above, the -v forces a verbose message for each file system affected; and the -a option forces all file systems in /etc/fstab to have their quotas disabled. These commands update the status field of devices located in /_e_t_c/_m_t_a_b to indicate when quotas are on or off for each file system.
