quota − display disk usage and limits
quota [ -guv
| q ]
quota [ -uv | q ] user
quota [ -gv | q ] group
Quota displays users’ disk usage and limits. By default only the user quotas are printed.
−g |
Print group quotas for the group of which the user is a member. The optional | ||
−u |
flag is equivalent to the default. | ||
−v |
will display quotas on filesystems where no storage is allocated. | ||
-q |
Print a more terse message, containing only information on filesystems where usage is over quota. |
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.
Quota reports the quotas of all the filesystems listed in /etc/fstab. For filesystems that are NFS-mounted a call to the rpc.rquotad on the server machine is performed to get the information. If quota exits with a non-zero status, one or more filesystems are over quota.
