69The filesystems specified must have entries in
70.Pa /etc/fstab

72.Nm
73expects each filesystem to have quota files named
74.Pa quota.user
75and
76.Pa quota.group
77which are located at the root of the associated file system.
78These defaults may be overridden in
79.Pa /etc/fstab .
80By default both user and group quotas are enabled.
