DESCRIPTION

16       quota  displays users' disk usage and limits.  By default only the user
17       quotas are printed. By default space usage  and  limits  are  shown  in
18       kbytes (and are named blocks for historical reasons).
19
20       quota  reports  the  quotas of all the filesystems listed in /etc/mtab.
21       For filesystems that are NFS-mounted a call to the rpc.rquotad  on  the
22       server machine is performed to get the information.
23

OPTIONS

25       -F, --format=format-name
26              Show  quota  for  specified  format  (ie.  don't  perform format
27              autodetection).  Possible  format  names  are:  vfsold  Original
28              quota  format  with  16-bit UIDs / GIDs, vfsv0 Quota format with
29              32-bit UIDs / GIDs, 64-bit space usage, 32-bit inode  usage  and
30              limits,  vfsv1  Quota format with 64-bit quota limits and usage,
31              rpc (quota over NFS), xfs (quota on XFS filesystem)
32
33       -g, --group
34              Print group quotas for the group of which the user is a  member.
35              The  optional  group  argument(s)  restricts  the display to the
36              specified group(s).
37
38       -u, --user
39              flag is equivalent to the default.
40
41       -P, --project
42              Print project quotas for the specified project.
43
44       -v, --verbose
45              will display quotas on filesystems where  no  storage  is  allo‐
46              cated.
47
48       -s, --human-readable
49              option  will  make quota(1) try to choose units for showing lim‐
50              its, used space and used inodes.
51
52       --always-resolve
53              Always try to translate user / group name to uid / gid  even  if
54              the name is composed of digits only.
55
56       -p, --raw-grace
57              When user is in grace period, report time in seconds since epoch
58              when his grace time runs out (or has run out). Field is '0' when
59              no  grace  time  is  in  effect.  This is especially useful when
60              parsing output by a script.
61
62       -i, --no-autofs
63              ignore mountpoints mounted by automounter
64
65       -l, --local-only
66              report quotas only on local filesystems (ie. ignore NFS  mounted
67              filesystems).
68
69       -A, --all-nfs
70              report  quotas for all NFS filesystems even if they report to be
71              on the same device.
72
73       -f, --filesystem-list
74              report quotas only for filesystems specified on command line.
75
76       -m, --no-mixed-pathnames
77              Currently, pathnames of NFSv4 mountpoints are sent without lead‐
78              ing slash in the path.  rpc.rquotad uses this to recognize NFSv4
79              mounts and properly prepend pseudoroot of NFS filesystem to  the
80              path.  If  you specify this option, quota will always send paths
81              with a leading slash. This can be useful for legacy reasons  but
82              be  aware that quota over RPC will stop working if you are using
83              new rpc.rquotad.
84
85       -q, --quiet
86              Print a more  terse  message,  containing  only  information  on
87              filesystems where usage is over quota.
88
89       -Q, --quiet-refuse
90              Do  not  print  error  message  if  connection to rpc.rquotad is
91              refused (usually this happens when rpc.rquotad is not running on
92              the server).
93
94       -w, --no-wrap
95              Do not wrap the line if the device name is too long. This can be
96              useful when parsing the output of quota(1) by a script.
97
98       --show-mntpoint
99              Show also mount point as a filesystem identification.
100
101       --hide-device
102              Do not show device name in a filesystem identification.
103
104       Specifying both -g and -u displays both the user quotas and  the  group
105       quotas (for the user).
106
107       Only  the super-user may use the -u flag and the optional user argument
108       to view the limits of other users. Also viewing of project quota  usage
109       and  limits is limited to super-user only.  Non-super-users can use the
110       -g flag and optional group argument to view only the limits  of  groups
111       of which they are members.
112
113       The -q flag takes precedence over the -v flag.
114

DIAGNOSTICS

116       If quota exits with a non-zero status, one or more filesystems are over
117       quota.
