quotaon
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
Turn on quotas for all autoloading filesystems in /etc/fstab that support them.
Invoke quotaoff instead of quotaon.
Turn group quotas on.
Print current quota status, then exit.
Turn user quotas on.
Print a message for each filesystem affected by the command.
