QUOTA(1)                                                                                 QUOTA(1)



NAME
       quota - display disk usage and limits

SYNOPSIS
       quota [ -F format-name ] [ -guvsil | q ]
       quota [ -F format-name ] [ -uvsil | q ] user...
       quota [ -F format-name ] [ -gvsil | q ] group...

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-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     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     flag is equivalent to the default.

       -v     will display quotas on filesystems where no storage is allocated.

       -s     option  will  make  quota(1) try to choose units for showing limits, used space and
              used inodes.

       -i     ignore mountpoints mounted by automounter

       -l     report quotas only on local filesystems (ie. ignore NFS mounted filesystems).

       -q     Print a more terse message, containing only information on filesystems where  usage
              is over quota.

       -Q     Do  not  print  error message if connection to rpc.rquotad is refused (usually this
              happens when rpc.rquotad is not running on the server).

       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 filesys-
                           tems)
       quota.user  or  quota.group
                           quota file at the filesystem root (version 1 quota,  non-XFS  filesys-
                           tems)
       /etc/mtab           default filesystems
