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 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
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 -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 -u, --user
39 flag is equivalent to the default.
40 -P, --project
42 Print project quotas for the specified project.
43 -v, --verbose
45 will display quotas on filesystems where no storage is allo‐
46 cated.
47 -s, --human-readable[=units]
49 option will make quota(1) try to choose units for showing lim‐
50 its, used space and used inodes. Units can be also specified
51 explicitely by an optional argument in format [ kgt ],[ kgt ]
52 where the first character specifies space units and the second
53 character specifies inode units.
54 --always-resolve
56 Always try to translate user / group name to uid / gid even if
57 the name is composed of digits only.
58 -p, --raw-grace
60 When user is in grace period, report time in seconds since epoch
61 when his grace time runs out (or has run out). Field is '0' when
62 no grace time is in effect. This is especially useful when
63 parsing output by a script.
64 -i, --no-autofs
66 ignore mountpoints mounted by automounter
67 -l, --local-only
69 report quotas only on local filesystems (ie. ignore NFS mounted
70 filesystems).
71 -A, --all-nfs
73 report quotas for all NFS filesystems even if they report to be
74 on the same device.
75 -f, --filesystem-list
77 report quotas only for filesystems specified on command line.
78 -m, --no-mixed-pathnames
80 Currently, pathnames of NFSv4 mountpoints are sent without lead‐
81 ing slash in the path. rpc.rquotad uses this to recognize NFSv4
82 mounts and properly prepend pseudoroot of NFS filesystem to the
83 path. If you specify this option, quota will always send paths
84 with a leading slash. This can be useful for legacy reasons but
85 be aware that quota over RPC will stop working if you are using
86 new rpc.rquotad.
87 -q, --quiet
89 Print a more terse message, containing only information on
90 filesystems where usage is over quota.
91 -Q, --quiet-refuse
93 Do not print error message if connection to rpc.rquotad is
94 refused (usually this happens when rpc.rquotad is not running on
95 the server).
96 -w, --no-wrap
98 Do not wrap the line if the device name is too long. This can be
99 useful when parsing the output of quota(1) by a script.
100 --show-mntpoint
102 Show also mount point as a filesystem identification.
103 --hide-device
105 Do not show device name in a filesystem identification.
106 Specifying both -g and -u displays both the user quotas and the group
108 quotas (for the user).
109 Only the super-user may use the -u flag and the optional user argument
111 to view the limits of other users. Also viewing of project quota usage
112 and limits is limited to super-user only. Non-super-users can use the
113 -g flag and optional group argument to view only the limits of groups
114 of which they are members.
115 The -q flag takes precedence over the -v flag.
117
119 If quota exits with a non-zero status, one or more filesystems are over
120 quota.
121
123 aquota.user or aquota.group
124 quota file at the filesystem root (version 2 quota,
125 non-XFS filesystems)
126 quota.user or quota.group
127 quota file at the filesystem root (version 1 quota,
128 non-XFS filesystems)
129 /etc/mtab default filesystems
