QUOTAON(8)		    System Manager's Manual		    QUOTAON(8)

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

SYNOPSIS
       quotaon [-g] [-u] [-v] filesystem ...
       quotaon [-g] [-u] [-v] -a
       quotaoff	[-g] [-u] [-v] filesystem ...
       quotaoff	[-g] [-u] [-v] -a

DESCRIPTION
       The  quotaon 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/quotaoff
	       will  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/dis-
	       abled.

       -u      Only  user  quotas  listed in /etc/fstab	should be enabled/dis-
	       abled.

       -v      Cause quotaon and quotaoff to print a  message  for  each  file
	       system where quotas are turned on or off.

       Specifying both -g and -u is equivalent to the default.

FILES
       quota.user   at the file	system root with user quotas
       quota.group  at the file	system root with group quotas
       /etc/fstab   file system	table
