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/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
