DESCRIPTION
Thequota
utility displays users' disk usage and limits.
By default only the user quotas are printed.
The following options are available:
-g
- Print group quotas for the group of which the user is a member.
-l
- Do not report quotas on NFS file systems.
-q
- Print a more terse message, containing only information on file systems where usage is over quota.
-u
- Print the user quotas. This is the default unless
-g
is specified. -v
- 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.
The -q
flag takes precedence over the
-v
flag.
The quota
utility 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. For
UFS(5) file systems, quotas must be turned on in
/etc/fstab. If quota
exits
with a non-zero status, one or more file systems are over quota.
If the -l
flag is specified,
quota
will not check NFS file systems.
FILES
- quota.user
- located at the file system root with user quotas
- quota.group
- located at the file system root with group quotas
- /etc/fstab
- to find file system names and locations
