QUOTA(1)						      General Commands Manual							  QUOTA(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

NAME

       repquota - summarize quotas for a filesystem

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/repquota [ -vsug ] [ -t | -n ] [ -F format-name ] filesystem...

       /usr/sbin/repquota [ -avtsug ] [ -t | -n ] [ -F format-name ]

DESCRIPTION

       repquota  prints  a  summary  of  the  disc usage and quotas for the specified file systems.  For each user the current number of files and
       amount of space (in kilobytes) is printed, along with any quotas created with edquota(8).

OPTIONS

       -a     Report on all filesystems indicated in /etc/mtab to be read-write with quotas.

       -v     Report all quotas, even if there is no usage. Be also more verbose about quotafile information.

       -t     Truncate user/group names longer than 9 characters. This results in nicer output when there are such names.

       -n     Don't resolve UIDs/GIDs to names. This can speedup printing a lot.

       -s     Try to report used space, number of used inodes and limits in more appropriate units than default ones.

       -F format-name
	      Report 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     Report quotas for groups.

       -u     Report quotas for users. This is the default.

       Only the super-user may view quotas which are not their own.

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
       /etc/passwd	   default set of users
       /etc/group	   default set of groups
