System Administration Commands                        quotaon(1M)



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

SYNOPSIS
     quotaon [-v] filesystem...


     quotaon -a [-v]


     quotaoff [-v] filesystem...


     quotaoff -a [-v]


DESCRIPTION
     quotaon turns on disk quotas for one or more ufs  file  sys-
     tems.


     Before a file system may have quotas enabled, a  file  named
     quotas,  owned  by root, must exist in the root directory of
     the file system. See  edquota(1M)  for  details  on  how  to
     modify the contents of this file.


     quotaoff turns off disk quotas for one or more ufs file sys-
     tems.


     The file systems specified must already be mounted.


     These commands update the mntopts field of  the  appropriate
     entries in /etc/mnttab to indicate when quotas are on or off
     for each file system. If quotas are  on,  the  string  quota
     will  be  added  to  mntopts;  if  quotas are off, the quota
     string is not present.


     filesystem must be either the mount point of a file  system,
     or the block device on which the file system resides.

OPTIONS
  quotaon
     -a    This option is normally used at boot  time  to  enable
           quotas.  It  applies  only  to  those  file systems in
           /etc/vfstab which have ``rq'' in  the  mntopts  field,
           are  currently  mounted ``rw'', and have a quotas file
           in the root directory.
