quota (manpage)

NAME
- display disk usage and limits

SYNOPSIS

 * [ -F format-name ] [ -guvs | q ]
 * [ -F format-name ] [ -uvs | q ] user
 * [ -F format-name ] [ -gvs | q ] group

DESCRIPTION
displays users' disk usage and limits. By default only the user quotas are printed.

reports the quotas of all the filesystems listed in /etc/mtab. For filesystems that are NFS-mounted, a call to the rpc.rquotad on the server machine is performed to get the information.

OPTIONS

 * -F format-name :Show quota for specified format (ie. don't perform format autodetection).  Possible  format  names are: vfsold (version 1 quota), vfsv0 (version 2 quota), rpc (quota over NFS), xfs (quota on XFS filesystem)
 * -g:Print group quotas for the group of which the user is a member. The optional (editor's note: text is truncated here)
 * -u:flag is equivalent to the default.
 * -v:will display quotas on filesystems where no storage is allocated.
 * -s:flag will make quota(1) try to choose units for showing limits, used space  and used inodes.
 * -q:Print a  more  terse  message, containing only information on filesystems where usage is over quota.

Specifying both -g and -u displays both the user quotas and the group quotas (for  the user).

Only the super-user may use the -u flag and the optional user argument to view the limits of other users. Non-super-users can use the the -g flag and optional group  argument to view only the limits of groups of which they are members.

The -q flag takes precedence over the -v flag.

DIAGNOSTICS
If quota exits with a non-zero status, one or more filesystems are over quota.

FILES

 * 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:default filesystems
