quota [ -uv | q ] user
quota [ -gv | q ] group Quota displays users' disk usage and limits. By default only the user quotas are printed. - -g
- Print group quotas for the group of which the user is a member. The optional
- -u
- flag is equivalent to the default.
- -v
- will display quotas on filesystems where no storage is allocated.
- -q
- Print a more terse message, containing only information on filesystems where usage is over quota.
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.
Quota reports the quotas of all the filesystems listed in /etc/fstab. For filesystems that are NFS-mounted a call to the rpc.rquotad on the server machine is performed to get the information. If quota exits with a non-zero status, one or more filesystems are over quota.
quota.user located at the filesystem root with user quotas
quota.group located at the filesystem root with group quotas
