QUOTA(1) QUOTA(1)
NAME
quota - display disk usage and limits
SYNOPSIS
quota [ -F format-name ] [ -guvsil | q ]
quota [ -F format-name ] [ -uvsil | q ] user...
quota [ -F format-name ] [ -gvsil | q ] group...
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 /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-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 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 flag is equivalent to the default.
-v will display quotas on filesystems where no storage is allo-
cated.
-s option will make quota(1) try to choose units for showing lim-
its, used space and used inodes.
-i ignore mountpoints mounted by automounter
-l report quotas only on local filesystems (ie. ignore NFS mounted
filesystems).
-q Print a more terse message, containing only information on
filesystems where usage is over quota.
-Q Do not print error message if connection to rpc.rquotad is
refused (usually this happens when rpc.rquotad is not running on
the server).
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
