NAME
quotasync - synchronize in-kernel file system usage and limits to disk format SYNOPSIS
quotasync [ -ug ] mount-point... quotasync [ -ug ] -a quotasync -h | -V DESCRIPTION
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
-u, --user Synchronize user usage and limits. -g, --group Synchronize group usage and limits. -a, --all Synchronize usage and limits on all file systems. 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. SEE ALSO
quota(1), quotactl(2), mount(8), quotacheck(8), quotaon(8), repquota(8), warnquota(8). QUOTASYNC(1)

NAME
quota - display disk usage and limits SYNOPSIS
quota [ -F format-name ] [ -guvs | q ] quota [ -F format-name ] [ -uvs | q ] user quota [ -F format-name ] [ -gvs | 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 -u flag is equivalent to the default. -v will display quotas on filesystems where no storage is allocated. -s flag will make quota(1) try to choose units for showing limits, used space and used inodes. -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. 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 SEE ALSO
quotactl(2), fstab(5), edquota(8), quotacheck(8), quotaon(8), repquota(8) QUOTA(1)
