DESCRIPTION
quota displays users' disk usage and limits. By default only
the user quotas are printed.
Options:
-
-
- -d
- Query the kernel for default user or group quota instead of
a specific user or group.
-
-
- -g
- Print group quotas for the group of which the user is a
member. The optional -u flag is equivalent to the
default.
-
-
- -h
- Numbers are displayed in a human readable format.
-
-
- -q
- Print a more terse message, containing only information on
file systems where usage is over quota.
-
-
- -v
- quota will display quotas on file systems
where no storage is allocated.
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.
Only the super-user may use the
-d flag.
The
-q flag takes precedence over the
-v
flag.
quota tries to report the quotas of all mounted file systems.
If the file system is mounted via
NFS it will attempt to
contact the
rpc.rquotad(8)
daemon on the
NFS server. If
quota exits
with a non-zero status, one or more file systems are over quota.
