DESCRIPTION
quota
displays users' disk usage and limits.
By default only the user quotas are printed.
quota
reports the quotas of all the filesystems listed in
/etc/mtab.
For filesystems that are NFS-mounted a call to the rpc.rquotad on
the server machine is performed to get the information.
OPTIONS
- -F, --format=format-name
-
Show quota for specified format (ie. don't perform format autodetection).
Possible format names are:
vfsold
(version 1 quota),
vfsv0
(version 2 quota),
rpc
(quota over NFS),
xfs
(quota on XFS filesystem)
- -g, --group
-
Print group quotas for the group
of which the user is a member.
The optional
group
argument(s) restricts the display to the specified group(s).
- -u, --user
-
flag is equivalent to the default.
- -v, --verbose
-
will display quotas on filesystems
where no storage is allocated.
- -s, --human-readable
-
option will make
quota(1)
try to choose units for showing limits, used space and used inodes.
- -p, --raw-grace
-
When user is in grace period, report time in seconds since epoch when his grace
time runs out (or has run out). Field is '0' when no grace time is in effect.
This is especially useful when parsing output by a script.
- -i, --no-autofs
-
ignore mountpoints mounted by automounter
- -l, --local-only
-
report quotas only on local filesystems (ie. ignore NFS mounted filesystems).
- -A, --all-nfs
-
report quotas for all NFS filesystems even if they report to be on the same
device.
- -m, --no-mixed-pathnames
-
Currently, pathnames of NFSv4 mountpoints are sent without leading slash in the path.
rpc.rquotad
uses this to recognize NFSv4 mounts and properly prepend pseudoroot of NFS filesystem
to the path. If you specify this option,
setquota
will always send paths with a trailing slash. This can be useful for legacy reasons but
be aware that quota over RPC will stop working if you are using new
rpc.rquotad.
- -q, --quiet
-
Print a more terse message,
containing only information
on filesystems where usage is over quota.
- -Q, --quiet-refuse
-
Do not print error message if connection to
rpc.rquotad
is refused (usually this happens when
rpc.rquotad
is not running on the server).
- -w, --no-wrap
-
Do not wrap the line if the device name is too long. This can be useful when parsing
the output of
quota(1)
by a script.
Specifying both
-g
and
-u
displays both the user quotas and the group quotas (for
the user).
Only the super-user may use the
-u
flag and the optional
user
argument to view the limits of other users.
Non-super-users can use the 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.
DIAGNOSTICS
If
quota
exits with a non-zero status, one or more filesystems
are over quota.
FILES
- aquota.user or aquota.group
-
quota file at the filesystem root (version 2 quota, non-XFS filesystems)
- quota.user or quota.group
-
quota file at the filesystem root (version 1 quota, non-XFS filesystems)
- /etc/mtab
-
default filesystems
