SYNOPSIS
quotaon [-v] filesystem...

quotaoff [-av]
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 sys-
tems 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.
