.Nm Quotaon

.Nm Quotaoff
announces to the system that the specified
filesystems should have any disk quotas
diskquotas turned off.
The filesystems specified must have entries in
.Pa /etc/fstab
and be mounted.
.Nm Quotaon
expects each filesystem to have quota files named
.Pa quota.user
and
.Pa quota.group
which are located at the root of the associated file system.
These defaults may be overridden in
.Pa /etc/fstab .
By default both user and group quotas are enabled.

to be read-write with disk quotas.
