QUOTAON(8)                                                          QUOTAON(8)



NAME
       quotaon, quotaoff - turn filesystem quotas on and off

SYNOPSIS
       /sbin/quotaon [ -vugfp ] [ -F format-name ] filesystem...
       /sbin/quotaon [ -avugfp ] [ -F format-name ]

       /sbin/quotaoff [ -vugp ] [ -x state ] filesystem...
       /sbin/quotaoff [ -avugp ]

DESCRIPTION
   quotaon
       quotaon  announces  to the system that disk quotas should be enabled on one or more
       filesystems. The filesystem quota files must be present in the  root  directory  of
       the  specified  filesystem  and  be  named  either  aquota.user (for version 2 user
       quota), quota.user (for version 1 user quota), aquota.group (for  version  2  group
       quota), or quota.group (for version 1 group quota).

       XFS  filesystems are a special case - XFS considers quota information as filesystem
       metadata and uses journaling to provide a higher level  guarantee  of  consistency.
       There  are  two  components  to  the  XFS  disk  quota system: accounting and limit
       enforcement.  XFS filesystems require that quota accounting be turned on  at  mount
       time.   It is possible to enable and disable limit enforcement on an XFS filesystem
       after quota accounting is already turned on.   The  default  is  to  turn  on  both
       accounting and enforcement.

       The  XFS  quota  implementation does not maintain quota information in user-visible
       files, but rather stores this information internally.

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

OPTIONS
   quotaon
       -a     All   automatically  mounted  (no  noauto  option)  non-NFS  filesystems  in
              /etc/fstab with quotas will have their quotas turned on.  This  is  normally
              used at boot time to enable quotas.

       -v     Display a message for each filesystem where quotas are turned on.

       -u     Manipulate user quotas. This is the default.

       -g     Manipulate group quotas.

       -p     Instead  of turning quotas on just print state of quotas (ie. whether. quota
              is on or off)

       -f     Make quotaon behave like being called as quotaoff.

   quotaoff
       -F format-name
              Report quota for specified format (ie. don't perform format  autodetection).
              Possible  format  names  are:  vfsold  (version  1  quota), vfsv0 (version 2
              quota), xfs (quota on XFS filesystem)

       -a     Force all filesystems in /etc/fstab to have their quotas disabled.

       -v     Display a message for each filesystem affected.

       -u     Manipulate user quotas. This is the default.

       -g     Manipulate group quotas.

       -p     Instead of turning quotas off just print state of quotas (ie. whether. quota
              is on or off)

       -x delete
              Free  up  the  space  used to hold quota information (maintained internally)
              within XFS.  This option is only applicable to XFS, and is silently  ignored
              for  other filesystem types.  It can only be used on a filesystem with quota
              previously turned off.

       -x enforce
              Switch off limit enforcement for XFS filesystems (perform  quota  accounting
              only).   This  option is only applicable to XFS, and is silently ignored for
              other filesystem types.

NOTES ON XFS FILESYSTEMS
       To enable quotas on an XFS filesystem, use mount(8) or /etc/fstab quota  option  to
       enable  both  accounting and limit enforcement.  quotaon utility cannot be used for
       this purpose.

       Turning on quotas on an XFS root filesystem requires the  quota  mount  options  be
       passed into the kernel at boot time through the Linux rootflags boot option.

       To  turn  off  quota  limit enforcement on any XFS filesystem, first make sure that
       quota accounting and enforcement are both turned on using repquota -s.   Then,  use
       quotaoff  -vo  to disable limit enforcement.  This may be done while the filesystem
       is mounted.

       Turning on quota limit enforcement on an XFS filesystem is achieved  using  quotaon
       -v.  This may be done while the filesystem is mounted.

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/fstab          default filesystems
