quot_vxfs

quot_vxfs(1M)															     quot_vxfs(1M)

NAME

       quot_vxfs: quot - summarize ownership on a VxFS file system

SYNOPSIS

       filesystem ...

DESCRIPTION

       displays  the  number of 1024-byte blocks in the specified VxFS filesystem that are currently owned by each user.  filesystem is either the
       name of the directory on which the file system is mounted or the name of the device containing the file system.

   Options
       recognizes the following options:

	      Specifies file system type.

	      Generate a report for all mounted file systems.

	      Report file system size instead of user statistics.
			The option generates histogram statistics in 3-column format:

			Column 1:   File size in blocks.  Sizes are listed in ascending order up to 499 blocks per file.  Files occupying  499	or
				    more  blocks  are counted together on a single line as 499-block files, but column 3 is based on actual number
				    of blocks occupied.

			Column 2:   Number of files of size indicated in column 1.

			Column 3:   Cumulative total blocks occupied by files counted in current plus all preceding lines.

			The option overrides the and options.

	      Display the number of files and space occupied by each user.

	      Calculate the number of blocks in the file based on file size
			rather than actual blocks allocated.  The option does not account for sparse files (files with holes in them).

	      Accept	ncheck(1M) data as input.  The following pipeline will produce a list of all files and their owners:

	      Display three columns containing the number of blocks
			not accessed in the last 30, 60, and 90 days.

	      Validate the command line options, but do not execute the command.
			If the options specified are valid, echoes the complete command line.  If the options specified are not valid,	it  prints
			an error message.

   Operands
       recognizes the following operand:

	      filesystem
			Name of the directory on which the VxFS file system is mounted or the name of the device containing the file system..
