The
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
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,
/ 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/disabled.
-u
Only user quotas listed in
/etc/fstab
should be enabled/disabled.
-v
Cause
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.
