NAME¶
rquotad, rpc.rquotad - remote quota server
SYNOPSIS¶
rpc.rquotad [
-sSFI ] [
-p port ]
DESCRIPTION¶
rquotad is an
rpc(3) server which returns quotas for a user of a
local filesystem which is mounted by a remote machine over the
NFS. It also allows setting of quotas on
NFS
mounted filesystem (if configured during compilation and allowed by a command
line option
-S). The results are used by
quota(1) to display
user quotas for remote filesystems and by
edquota(8) to set quotas on
remote filesystems.
rquotad daemon uses tcp-wrappers library (under
service name
rquotad) which allows you to specify hosts
allowed/disallowed to use the daemon (see
hosts.allow(5) manpage for
more information). The
rquotad daemon is normally started at boot time
from the system startup scripts.
OPTIONS¶
- -V, --version
- Shows version of quota tools.
- -s, --no-setquota
- Don't allow setting of quotas (default). This option is available only if
utilities were compiled with the rpcsetquota option.
- -S, --setquota
- Allow setting of quotas. This option is available only if utilities were
compiled with the rpcsetquota option.
- -F, --foreground
- Run daemon in foreground (may be useful for debugging purposes).
- -I, --autofs
- Do not ignore autofs mountpoints.
- -p port, --port port
- Listen on alternate port port.
- -x path, --xtab path
- Set an alternative file with NFSD export table. This file is used to
determine pseudoroot of NFSv4 exports. The pseudoroot is then prepended to
each relative path (i.e. a path not beginning by '/') received in a quota
RPC request.
FILES¶
- aquota.user or aquota.group
- quota file at the filesystem root (version 2 quota, non-XFS
filesystems)
- quota.user or quota.group
- quota file at the filesystem root (version 1 quota, non-XFS
filesystems)
- /etc/mtab
- default filesystems
