NAME

       quotaon, quotaoff - turns quota enforcement on or off

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/quotaon [-guv] file_spec ...

       /usr/sbin/quotaon -a [-guv]

       /usr/sbin/quotaoff [-guv] file_spec ...

       /usr/sbin/quotaoff -a [-guv]

PARAMETERS

       Specifies  one or more file systems.  Specify any file system by entering its full path name or its mount point.  The full path name is the
       name entered in the file-spec field of the file system's entry in the /etc/fstab file.	The  mount  point  is  the  name  entered  in  the
       mnt_point field of the file system's entry in the /etc/fstab file.

	      For UFS file systems, you can alternatively enter the name of a block device special file.  For example:	/dev/disk/dsk3c.

	      For AdvFS filesets, you can alternatively enter the name of a file domain, a pound sign (#), and the name of the fileset.  For exam-
	      ple:  root_domain#root.

FLAGS

       Turns on (with quotaon) or turns off (with quotaoff) quotas for all file systems identified in the /etc/fstab file as read/write with  quo-
       tas.   Turns on or off group quotas only.  Turns on or off user quotas only.  Prints a message for each file system whose quotas are turned
       on or off.

DESCRIPTION

       The quotaon and quotaoff commands enable or disable user and group quotas that have been established using the edquota  command.   To  turn
       the  quotas  on	or off, the file systems specified must have the userquota and groupquota entries in the /etc/fstab file and be mounted at
       the time.

       quotaon and quotaoff must be run by a user with superuser authority.

       These commands expect each file system to have quota files named quota.user and quota.group in the  root  directory  of	the  file  system.
       (These default file locations may be overridden in the /etc/fstab file.)

       By default,  both user and group quotas are affected by the quotaon and quotaoff commands.  Use the -g flag to specify only group quotas or
       the -u flag to specify only user quotas.

NOTES

       The term file system represents either a UFS file system or an AdvFS fileset.

       The quotaon and quotaoff commands are used to manage user and group quotas:  they are not used to manage AdvFS  fileset	quotas.   Use  the
       chfsets command to set or clear fileset quotas.

       AdvFS  always  maintains  user  and  group file and block usage in the quota files (quota.user and quota.group). User and group quota limit
       information displays with the showfsets command even if quota enforcement is turned off.

       When a file system is unmounted, user and group quotas are disabled.  After a file system has been remounted, use the  quotaon  command	to
       enable user and group quotas on the file system.

RESTRICTIONS

       You must be the root user to run the quotaon and quotaoff commands.
