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
