       For setting quota or other quota operations on a btrfs filesystem, please see btrfs-qgroup(8) for details.

           Warning
           Quota and qgroup in btrfs filesystem is not stable and impacts performance in mainline kernel yet(v3.14 so
           far).

       enable <path>
           Enable subvolume quota support for a filesystem.

       rescan [-s] <path>
           Trash all qgroup numbers and scan the metadata again with the current config.

           Options

           -s
               show status of a running rescan operation.

           -w
               wait for rescan operation to finish(can be already in progress).

EXIT STATUS
