quota displays users' disk usage and limits. By default only the user
quotas are printed. By default space usage and limits are shown in kbytes (and
are named blocks for historical reasons).
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.
- -F, --format=format-name
- Show quota for specified format (ie. don't perform format
autodetection). Possible format names are: vfsold Original quota
format with 16-bit UIDs / GIDs, vfsv0 Quota format with 32-bit UIDs
/ GIDs, 64-bit space usage, 32-bit inode usage and limits, vfsv1
Quota format with 64-bit quota limits and usage, rpc (quota over
NFS), xfs (quota on XFS filesystem)
- -g, --group
- 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, --user
- flag is equivalent to the default.
- -P, --project
- Print project quotas for the specified project.
- -v, --verbose
- will display quotas on filesystems where no storage is
allocated.
- -s, --human-readable[=units]
- option will make try to choose units for
showing limits, used space and used inodes. Units can be also specified
explicitely by an optional argument in format [ kgt ],[ kgt
] where the first character specifies space units and the second character
specifies inode units.
- --always-resolve
- Always try to translate user / group name to uid / gid even
if the name is composed of digits only.
- -p, --raw-grace
- When user is in grace period, report time in seconds since
epoch when his grace time runs out (or has run out). Field is '0' when no
grace time is in effect. This is especially useful when parsing output by
a script.
- -i, --no-autofs
- ignore mountpoints mounted by automounter
- -l, --local-only
- report quotas only on local filesystems (ie. ignore NFS
mounted filesystems).
- -A, --all-nfs
- report quotas for all NFS filesystems even if they report
to be on the same device.
- -f, --filesystem-list
- report quotas only for filesystems specified on command
line.
- --filesystem=path
- report quotas only for filesystem path. This option
can be specified multiple types and quota will be reported for each
specified filesystem. Unlike command line option -f remaining
command like arguments are still treated as user / group / project names
to report.
- -m, --no-mixed-pathnames
- Currently, pathnames of NFSv4 mountpoints are sent without
leading slash in the path. rpc.rquotad uses this to recognize NFSv4
mounts and properly prepend pseudoroot of NFS filesystem to the path. If
you specify this option, quota will always send paths with a
leading slash. This can be useful for legacy reasons but be aware that
quota over RPC will stop working if you are using new
rpc.rquotad.
- -q, --quiet
- Print a more terse message, containing only information on
filesystems where usage is over quota.
- -Q, --quiet-refuse
- Do not print error message if connection to
rpc.rquotad is refused (usually this happens when
rpc.rquotad is not running on the server).
- -w, --no-wrap
- Do not wrap the line if the device name is too long. This
can be useful when parsing the output of by a script.
- --show-mntpoint
- Show also mount point as a filesystem identification.
- --hide-device
- Do not show device name in a filesystem
identification.
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. Also viewing of project quota
usage and limits is limited to super-user only. Non-super-users can use 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.
If
quota exits with a non-zero status, one or more filesystems are over
quota.
- 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
