NAME
quota - display disk usage and limits
SYNOPSIS
quota [ -F format-name ] [ -guqvswi ] [ -l | [ -QAm ]]
quota [ -F format-name ] [ -qvswi ] [ -l | [ -QAm ]] -u user...
quota [ -F format-name ] [ -qvswi ] [ -l | [ -QAm ]] -g group...
quota [ -F format-name ] [ -qvswugQm ] -f filesystem...
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 Original
quota format with 16-bit UIDs / GIDs, vfsv0 Quota format with
32-bit UIDs / GIDs, 64-bit space usage, 32-bit inode usage and
limits, vfsv1 Quota format with 64-bit quota limits and usage,
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
