NAME

quota − display disc usage and limits

SYNOPSIS

quota [ −v ] [ user ]

DESCRIPTION

quota displays users’ disc usage and limits.  And it prints a more terse message, containing only information on file systems where usage is over quota.  Only the super-user may use the optional user argument to view the limits of users other than himself. 

If a −v flag is supplied, quota will also display user’s quotas on file systems where no storage is allocated. 

quota reports only on file systems which have disc quotas.  Remotely mounted file systems which are mounted with the notquota option (see fstab(5)) are ignored.  If quota exits with a non-zero status, one or more file systems are over quota. 

EXSAMPLES

For using quota, you modify the partitions’s /etc/fstab entry that looks like:

/dev/sd00f /export 4.3 rw,quota 1 9

And quota control file named quotas is created in the partition. 

% su
# touch /export/quotas
# chmod 600 /export/quotas

After these modifications, a reboot starts the quota system.
