How to Turn On Quotas

1. Become superuser or assume an equivalent role.

   Roles contain authorizations and privileged commands. For more information about roles, see Configuring RBAC (Task Map) in System Administration Guide: Security Services.

2. Turn on file system quotas.

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

   -v

   Displays a message for each file system after quotas are turned on.

   -a

   Turns on quotas for all file systems with an rq entry in the /etc/vfstab file.

   filesystem ...

   Turns on quotas for one or more file systems that you specify. More than one file system is specified by separating each file system name with a space.
