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
R /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=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, --group
Print group quotas for the group
of which the user is a member.
The optional
group
argument(s) restricts the display to the specified group(s).
-u, --user
flag is equivalent to the default.
-v, --verbose
will display quotas on filesystems
where no storage is allocated.
-s, --human-readable
option will make
quota(1)
try to choose units for showing limits, used space and used inodes.
-i, --no-autofs
ignore mountpoints mounted by automounter
-l, --local-only
report quotas only on local filesystems (ie. ignore NFS mounted filesystems).
-q, --quiet
Print a more terse message,
containing only information
on filesystems where usage is over quota.
-Q, --quiet-refuse
Do not print error message if connection to rpc.rquotad is refused (usually this happens
when rpc.rquotad is not running on the server).
-w, --no-wrap
Do not wrap the line if the device name is too long. This can be useful when parsing
the output of
quota(1)
by a script.
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.
FILES
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
