   NAME
         quotaon, quotaoff - turn file system quotas on and off

   SYNOPSIS
         quotaon [-v] filesystem...
         quotaon [-v] -a

         quotaoff [-v] filesystem...
         quotaoff [-v] -a

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

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

         The options for quotaon are:

         -a    All file systems in /etc/mnttab marked read-write with quotas
               will have their quotas turned on.  This option is normally used
               at boot time to enable quotas.  It applies only to file systems
               that have "rq" in the mntopts field of the /etc/vfstab file.

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

         The options for quotaoff are:

         -a    Force all file systems in /etc/mnttab to have their quotas
               disabled.  This option applies only to file systems that have
               "rq" in the mntopts field of the /etc/vfstab file.

         -v    Display a message for each file system affected.

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