quotaon_ufs(1M)

quotaon_ufs, quotaoff_ufs -- turn ufs filesystem quotas on and off

Synopsis

/usr/sbin/quotaon [-F ufs] [generic_options] [-v] filesystem . . .
/usr/sbin/quotaon [-F ufs] [generic_options] -a [-v] filesystem . . .

/usr/sbin/quotaoff [-F ufs] [generic_options] -a [-v] filesystem . . .
/usr/sbin/quotaoff -a [-F ufs] [generic_options] [-v] filesystem . . .

Description

generic_options are options supported by the generic quotaon and generic quotaoff commands.

quotaon announces to the system that disk quotas should be enabled on one or more filesystems. The filesystems specified must be mounted at the time. The filesystem quota files must be present in the root directory of the specified filesystem and be named quotas.

quotaoff announces to the system that filesystems specified should have any disk quotas turned off.

The options are:

-F ufs

Specify the ufs FSType. If -F ufs is not specified heuristics similiar to those used by fstyp(1M) are used to determine the file system type.

NOTE: This command executes faster if it is not required to autodetect file system types. If possible, specify the -F ufs.

-v

Displays a message for each filesystem where quotas are turned on.

The option for quotaoff:

-v: Displays a message for each filesystem affected.

For both quotaon and quoatoff, the option:

-a: Reports on all mounted filesystems that have ``rq'' in the ``mntopts'' field of the /etc/vfstab file.

These commands update the status field of devices located in /etc/mnttab to indicate when quotas are on or off for each filesystem.

Files

/etc/mnttab: mounted filesystems
/etc/vfstab: list of default parameters for each filesystem
