QUOTA(1) QUOTA(1) NAME quota - display disk usage and limits SYNOPSIS quota [ -F format-name ] [ -guvsilw | q ] quota [ -F format-name ] [ -uvsilw | q ] user... quota [ -F format-name ] [ -gvsilw | 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=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 allo- cated. -s, --human-readable option will make quota(1) try to choose units for showing lim- its, 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.
