## DESCRIPTION



           **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.
    


## OPTIONS



           **-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 quota(1) 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 quota(1) 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.
    


## 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
