vquotaon(8)
NAME
  vquotaon, vquotaoff - turns quota enforcement on or off

SYNOPSIS
  /usr/sbin/vquotaon [-guv] setname ...

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

  /usr/sbin/vquotaoff [-guv] setname ...

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


  setname
      Specifies one or more filesets.  You can specify a fileset by using
      either the root directory (/usr/staff/myfileset) or domain#set.

FLAGS
  -a  Turns on (with vquotaon) or turns off (with vquotaoff) quotas for all
      filesets identified in /etc/fstab as read/write with quotas.

  -g  Turns on or off group quotas only.

  -u  Turns on or off user quotas only.

  -v  Prints a message for each fileset whose quotas are turned on or off.

DESCRIPTION
  Operations supported by the vquotaon and vquotaoff commands are also
  supported by the quotaon and quotaoff commands.  See quotaon(8) and
  quotaoff(8).	The vquotaon and vquotaoff commands are supported only for
  backward compatibility with operating system versions earlier than DIGITAL
  UNIX Version 4.0 and will be retired in a future release of the product.

  The vquotaon and vquotaoff commands enable or disable user and group quotas
  that have been established using the vedquota command.  To turn the quotas
  on or off, the filesets specified must have the advfs
  rq,userquota,groupquota entry in the /etc/fstab file and be mounted at the
  time.

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

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



NOTES
  The vquotaon and vquotaoff 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.

RESTRICTIONS
  You must be the root user to use the vquotaon and vquotaoff commands.
