NAME
quota - display disk usage and limits
SYNOPSIS
quota [
-guv | q
]
quota [
-uv | q
] user
quota [
-gv | q
] group
DESCRIPTION
Quota
displays users' disk usage and limits.
By default only the user quotas are printed.
-
-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.
-
-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.
Quota
reports the quotas of all the filesystems listed in
/etc/fstab.
For filesystems that are NFS-mounted a call to the rpc.rquotad on
the server machine is performed to get the information. If
quota
exits with a non-zero status, one or more filesystems are over quota.
FILES
quota.user
: located at the filesystem root with user quotas
quota.group
: located at the filesystem root with group quotas
/etc/fstab
: to find filesystem names and locations
