rquotad, rpc.rquotad - remote quota server
rpc.rquotad [ -sSFI
] [ -p port ]
rquotad is an rpc(3)
server which returns
quotas for a user of a local filesystem which is mounted by a remote machine
over the NFS
. It also allows setting of quotas on NFS
mounted filesystem
(if configured during compilation and allowed by a command line option
-S). The results are used by quota(1)
to display user quotas for remote filesystems
and by edquota(8)
to set quotas on remote filesystems. rquotad daemon uses
tcp-wrappers library (under service name rquotad) which allows you to specify
hosts allowed/disallowed to use the daemon (see hosts.allow(5)
manpage for
more information). The rquotad daemon is normally started at boot time from
the system startup scripts.
- -V, --version
- Shows version of quota tools.
- -s, --no-setquota
- Don’t allow setting of quotas (default). This option is available
only if utilities were compiled with the rpcsetquota option.
- -S, --setquota
- Allow setting of quotas. This option is available only if utilities were
compiled with the rpcsetquota option.
- -F, --foreground
- Run daemon in foreground
(may be useful for debugging purposes).
- -I, --autofs
- Do not ignore autofs mountpoints.
- -p port, --port port
- Listen on alternate port port.
- -x path, --xtab path
- Set an
alternative file with NFSD export table. This file is used to determine
pseudoroot of NFSv4 exports. The pseudoroot is then prepended to each relative
path (i.e. a path not beginning by ’/’) received in a quota RPC request.
- aquota.user or aquota.group
- quota file at the filesystem root (version 2
quota, non-XFS filesystems)
- quota.user or quota.group
- quota file at the filesystem
root (version 1 quota, non-XFS filesystems)
- /etc/mtab
