DESCRIPTION
quota
displays users' disk usage and
limits. By default only the user quotas are printed.
The options are as follows:
-g
- Print group quotas for the group of which the user is a member.
-q
- Print a more terse message, containing only information on filesystems
where usage is over quota. This flag takes precedence over the
-v
flag. -u
- Print user quotas for the user. This flag is equivalent to the default.
-v
quota
will display quotas on filesystems where no storage is allocated.
Only the superuser may use the -g
and
-u
flags to view the limits of other groups and
users. Non-superusers can use the -g
and
-u
flags to view the limits of groups of which they
are members as well as their own user limits.
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.
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
EXIT STATUS
The quota
utility exits 0 on success, and
with a non-zero value if one or more filesystems are over quota.
