quota - display disk usage and limits


SYNOPSIS

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


DESCRIPTION

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

       Quota 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

       -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  infor­
              mation 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.

       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
