Error

I'm new to Unix and I'm trying to determin how much space I have on this system. the box is dedicated to Oracle and I log in as the oracle user and type quota. It retrunes nothing. Then I log on as root and type quota -v oracle.. It returns nothing! Gosh this is actually a solaris 5.7 box. Am I in the wrong place?

There is a virtual link to another box (also solaris) that stores our archives for backup. I eed to know how much space is available there as well. Why doesnt quota work!!!

quotasync flushes file system usage and limits from kernel memory to quota files stored in the file system. By default only the user quotas are synchronized. This tool can be useful if you want to display accurate quotas by tools that parse quota files, like repquota(8). OPTIONS

You have to specify this option or to specify desired file systems. -V, --version Show program version information and exit. -h, --help Show program usage and exit. DIAGNOSTICS
If requested synchronization fails, or invalid option is given, quotasync will terminate with non-zero exit code. Otherwise it will return zero. FILES
aquota.user or aquota.group Quota file at the file system root (version 2 quota, non-XFS/GFS2 file systems). quota.user or quota.group Quota file at the file system root (version 1 quota, non-XFS/GFS2 file systems). /etc/mtab List of mounted file systems maintained by user space. /proc/mounts List of mounted file systems maintained by kernel.
