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 au‐
27              todetection).  Possible format names are: vfsold Original  quota
28              format  with  16-bit UIDs / GIDs, vfsv0 Quota format with 32-bit
29              UIDs / GIDs, 64-bit space usage, 32-bit inode usage and  limits,
30              vfsv1  Quota  format  with  64-bit  quota  limits and usage, rpc
31              (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[=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 ex‐
51              plicitely  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
55       --always-resolve
56              Always  try  to translate user / group name to uid / gid even if
57              the name is composed of digits only.
58
59       -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
65       -i, --no-autofs
66              ignore mountpoints mounted by automounter
67
68       -l, --local-only
69              report  quotas only on local filesystems (ie. ignore NFS mounted
70              filesystems).
71
72       -A, --all-nfs
73              report quotas for all NFS filesystems even if they report to  be
74              on the same device.
75
76       -f, --filesystem-list
77              report quotas only for filesystems specified on command line.
78
79       --filesystem=path
80              report  quotas  only  for  filesystem  path.  This option can be
81              specified multiple types and quota will  be  reported  for  each
82              specified  filesystem.  Unlike  command line option -f remaining
83              command like arguments are still  treated  as  user  /  group  /
84              project names to report.
85
86       -m, --no-mixed-pathnames
87              Currently, pathnames of NFSv4 mountpoints are sent without lead‐
88              ing slash in the path.  rpc.rquotad uses this to recognize NFSv4
89              mounts  and properly prepend pseudoroot of NFS filesystem to the
90              path. If you specify this option, quota will always  send  paths
91              with  a leading slash. This can be useful for legacy reasons but
92              be aware that quota over RPC will stop working if you are  using
93              new rpc.rquotad.
94
95       -q, --quiet
96              Print  a  more  terse  message,  containing  only information on
97              filesystems where usage is over quota.
98
99       -Q, --quiet-refuse
100              Do not print error message if connection to rpc.rquotad  is  re‐
101              fused  (usually  this happens when rpc.rquotad is not running on
102              the server).
103
104       -w, --no-wrap
105              Do not wrap the line if the device name is too long. This can be
106              useful when parsing the output of quota(1) by a script.
107
108       --show-mntpoint
109              Show also mount point as a filesystem identification.
110
111       --hide-device
112              Do not show device name in a filesystem identification.
113
114       Specifying  both  -g and -u displays both the user quotas and the group
115       quotas (for the user).
116
117       Only the super-user may use the -u flag and the optional user  argument
118       to  view the limits of other users. Also viewing of project quota usage
119       and limits is limited to super-user only.  Non-super-users can use  the
120       -g  flag  and optional group argument to view only the limits of groups
121       of which they are members.
122
123       The -q flag takes precedence over the -v flag.
124

DIAGNOSTICS

126       If quota exits with a non-zero status, one or more filesystems are over
127       quota.
128
