In general, quota administration for VxFS is performed using commands similar to UFS quota commands. On Solaris, the available quota commands are UFS-specific. That is, these commands work only on UFS file systems. For this reason, VxFS supports a similar set of commands that work only for VxFS file systems.
Note: |
Most of the quota commands in VxFS are similar to BSD quota commands. However, the quotacheck command is an exception; VxFS does not support an equivalent command. |
See About quota checking with Veritas File System.
VxFS supports the following quota-related commands:
The vxquota, vxrepquota, vxquot, and vxedquota commands support the -H option for human-friendly input and output. When the -H option is used, the storage size is displayed in the following human−friendly units: bytes (B), kilobytes (KB), megabytes (MB), gigabytes (GB), terabyte (TB), petabytes (PB), and exabytes (EB). The quota soft and hard limits, quota usage, and the total storage consumed by a specific user or group or all users or groups can be obtained in human-friendly units using the -H option.
Beside these commands, the VxFS mount command supports special mounts option (-o quota|usrquota|grpquota), which can be used to turn on quotas at mount time.
For additional information on the quota commands, see the corresponding manual pages.
