16.2. Managing Disk Quotas
If quotas are implemented, they need some maintenance — mostly in the form of watching to see if the quotas are exceeded and making sure the quotas are accurate.
Of course, if users repeatedly exceed their quotas or consistently reach their soft limits, a system administrator has a few choices to make depending on what type of users they are and how much disk space impacts their work. The administrator can either help the user determine how to use less disk space or increase the user's disk quota.
16.2.1. Enabling and Disabling
It is possible to disable quotas without setting them to 0. To turn all user and group quotas off, use the following command:
# quotaoff -vaug
If neither the
-u or -g options are specified, only the user quotas are disabled. If only -g is specified, only group quotas are disabled. The -v switch causes verbose status information to display as the command executes.
To enable quotas again, use the
quotaon command with the same options.
For example, to enable user and group quotas for all file systems, use the following command:
# quotaon -vaug
To enable quotas for a specific file system, such as
/home, use the following command:
# quotaon -vug /home
If neither the
-u or -g options are specified, only the user quotas are enabled. If only -g is specified, only group quotas are enabled.
