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 en-
     abled 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 asso-
     ciated 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  quo-
	     tas 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  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
