quota.5 (2010 09)

q
quota(5) quota(5)
the chown() system call.
The
sam command (see sam(1M)) does not yet support disk quotas. When adding new users or file sys-
tems, any desired quotas must be established outside of
sam.
HP has added features to the original implementation to ensure correctness of the content of the quotas
file when quotas are enabled by
mount and disabled by umount (see mount(1M)), thus eliminating the
need to run
quotacheck (see quotacheck (1M)). These features are ineffective, however, if
quotaoff
and quotaon (see quotaon (1M)) are used to control quotas.
quotacheck should only be run on a dormant file system to ensure accurate usage information. The
-qv options of the fsclean command (see fsclean (1M)) report on the current viability of the quota
information.
