Configuring quotas for group

Syntax:

# touch            [ file name ]

Consider the following example.

# touch            /home/quota.group

The authorization can be modify to read/write for root only as follows.

# chmod 600 /home/quota.group

After this the system has to be rebooted for the changes that have been made to take effect.

Note : A Quota Setup on Sun Solaris: Within Sun Solaris  /etc/vfstab virtual file system table gives entries for mounting file system at systems boot time.

To enable user quota support on a file system, the rq has to be added to the seventh field holding the mount options:

Modify /etc/vfstab

# vi /etc/vfstab

device tomount devicetofsck mountpoint      fstype fsckpass mountatboot mountoptions

/dev/dsk/c0t3d0s7/dev/rdsk/c0t3d0s7 /export/home ufs2 yes rq
