6 quota - display disk usage and limits
7
9 quota [ -F format-name ] [ -guvsilw | q ]
10 quota [ -F format-name ] [ -uvsilw | q ] user...
11 quota [ -F format-name ] [ -gvsilw | q ] group...
12
14 quota displays users' disk usage and limits. By default only the user
15 quotas are printed.
16
17 quota reports the quotas of all the filesystems listed in /etc/mtab.
18 For filesystems that are NFS-mounted a call to the rpc.rquotad on the
19 server machine is performed to get the information.
20
22 -F, --format=format-name
23 Show quota for specified format (ie. don't perform format
24 autodetection). Possible format names are: vfsold (version 1
25 quota), vfsv0 (version 2 quota), rpc (quota over NFS), xfs
26 (quota on XFS filesystem)
27
28 -g, --group
29 Print group quotas for the group of which the user is a member.
30 The optional group argument(s) restricts the display to the
31 specified group(s).
32
33 -u, --user
34 flag is equivalent to the default.
35
36 -v, --verbose
37 will display quotas on filesystems where no storage is allo‐
38 cated.
39
40 -s, --human-readable
41 option will make quota(1) try to choose units for showing lim‐
42 its, used space and used inodes.
43
44 -i, --no-autofs
45 ignore mountpoints mounted by automounter
46
47 -l, --local-only
48 report quotas only on local filesystems (ie. ignore NFS mounted
49 filesystems).
50
51 -q, --quiet
52 Print a more terse message, containing only information on
53 filesystems where usage is over quota.
54
55 -Q, --quiet-refuse
56 Do not print error message if connection to rpc.rquotad is
57 refused (usually this happens when rpc.rquotad is not running on
58 the server).
59
60 -w, --no-wrap
61 Do not wrap the line if the device name is too long. This can be
62 useful when parsing the output of quota(1) by a script.
63
64 Specifying both -g and -u displays both the user quotas and the group
65 quotas (for the user).
66
67 Only the super-user may use the -u flag and the optional user argument
68 to view the limits of other users. Non-super-users can use the the -g
69 flag and optional group argument to view only the limits of groups of
70 which they are members.
71
72 The -q flag takes precedence over the -v flag.
73
75 If quota exits with a non-zero status, one or more filesystems are over
76 quota.
77
79 aquota.user or aquota.group
80 quota file at the filesystem root (version 2 quota,
81 non-XFS filesystems)
82 quota.user or quota.group
83 quota file at the filesystem root (version 1 quota,
84 non-XFS filesystems)
85 /etc/mtab default filesystems
86
88 quotactl(2), fstab(5), edquota(8), quotacheck(8), quotaon(8),
