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,  ``quota''  will  be
      added to mntopts; if quotas are off,  mntopts will be marked
      ``noquota''.
 
      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.
 
      -v    Display a message for each file  system  after  quotas
            are turned on.
 
   quotaoff
      -a    Force all file systems in /etc/mnttab  to  have  their
            quotas disabled.
 
      -v    Display a message for each file system affected.
