DESCRIPTION
quota
displays users' disk usage and limits.
By default only the user quotas are printed.
Options:
- -g
-
Print group quotas for the group
of which the user is a member.
The optional
-u
flag is equivalent to the default.
- -v
-
quota
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
-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
tries to report the quotas of all mounted filesystems.
If the filesystem is mounted via
NFS
it will attempt to contact the
rpc.rquotad(8)
daemon on the
NFS
server.
For
FFS
filesystems, quotas must be turned on in
/etc/fstab
.
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
