QUOTA(1) BSD Reference Manual QUOTA(1)NAME
quota - display disk usage and limits
SYNOPSIS
quota [-q | -v] [-gu]
quota [-q | -v] -g group ...
quota [-q | -v] -u user ...
DESCRIPTION
quota displays users' disk usage and limits. By default only the user
quotas are printed.
The options are as follows:
-g Print group quotas for the group of which the user is a member.
-q Print a more terse message, containing only information on
filesystems where usage is over quota.
-u Print user quotas for the user. This flag is equivalent to the
default.
-v quota will display quotas on filesystems where no storage is al-
located.
Specifying both -g and -u displays both the user quotas and the group
quotas (for the user).
Only the superuser may use the -u flag and the optional user argument to
view the limits of other users. Non-superusers can use 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.
quota tries to report the quotas of all mounted filesystems. If the
filesystem is mounted via NFS, it will attempt to contact the
rpc.rquotad(8) daemon on the NFS server. For FFS filesystems, quotas must
be turned on in /etc/fstab. If quota exits with a non-zero status, one or
more filesystems are over quota.
FILES
quota.user located at the filesystem root with user quotas
quota.group located at the filesystem root with group quotas
