NAME

quota − Displays disk usage and limits

SYNOPSIS

quota [−g] [group] [−u] [user] [−q | −v]

The quota command displays users’ disk usage and limits. 

DESCRIPTION

By default only your user quota are printed.  If you specify −g, quota displays group quotas for the groups of which you are a member.  Only a user with superuser authority can use the optional user argument with the −u flag to view information about another user, or use the optional group argument with the −g flag to view information about a group to which that user does not belong. 

Unless you use the −v flag, The quota command reports only on file systems listed in /etc/fstab that have disk quotas.  If quota exits with a nonzero status, one or more file systems are over quota. 

Quotas are given in block sizes of 1024 byte blocks. 

FLAGS

−g group

−u userDisplays only your user quotas (the default) when specified without the user argument.  Displays user quotas for user when you specify user. 

−vDisplays quota information for all mounted file systems, regardless of whether the user has any files on a given file system, or whether quotas are enabled on that file system.  The −q flag takes precedence over the −v flag.
