NAME


quota - display a user's ufs or zfs file system disk quota and usage

SYNOPSIS


quota [-v] [username]


DESCRIPTION


quota displays users' UFS or ZFS disk usage and limits. Only the super-
user may use the optional username argument to view the limits of other
users.


quota without options only display warnings about mounted file systems
where usage is over quota. Remotely mounted file systems which do not
have quotas turned on are ignored.


username can be the numeric UID of a user.

OPTIONS


-v
Display user's quota on all mounted file systems where quotas
exist.


USAGE


See largefile(7) for the description of the behavior of quota when
encountering files greater than or equal to 2 Gbyte ( 2^31 bytes).

FILES

NOTES


quota displays quotas for NFS mounted UFS- or ZFS-based file systems if
the rquotad daemon is running. See rquotad(8). In a zones(7) environment,
quota displays quotas only for the zone in which it is invoked.


quota can display entries for the same file system multiple times for
multiple mount points. For example,

# quota -v user1


might display identical quota information for user1 at the mount points
/home/user1, /home/user2, and /home/user, if all three mount points are
mounted from the same file system with quotas turned on.
