Name
quotaon
Synopsis
quotaon [options] [filesystems]
System administration command. Turn on enforcement of filesystem quotas. To work, the filesystems must have a gpquota, quota, or usrquota option listed in the /etc/fstab file. On most filesystems, user and group quota files must also exist. XFS filesystems store quota information as metadata instead of as files. Use edquota or setquota to create the appropriate quota information.
Options
- -a, --all
Turn on quotas for all autoloading filesystems in /etc/fstab that support them.
- -f, --off
Invoke quotaoff instead of quotaon.
- -F format, --format=format
Check quota files for the specified format. (See quota for valid formats.)
- -g, --group
Turn group quotas on.
- -p, --print-state
Print current quota status, then exit.
- -u, --user
Turn user quotas on.
- -v, --verbose
Print a message for each filesystem affected by the command.
