QUOTA(8) System Manager's Manual QUOTA(8)

NAME
quota - report and optionally fix quota usage
SYNOPSIS
quota [ -C config-file ] [ -d domain ] [ -f ] [ mailbox-prefix... ]
DESCRIPTION
Quota generates a report listing quota roots, giving their limits and usage. If the -f option is given, quota first fixes any inconsisten-
cies in the quota subsystem, such as mailboxes with the wrong quota root or quota roots with the wrong quota usage reported. If an
optional domain is given, the quota listing (and inconsistency fixing) is performed in that domain rather than the default domain. If any
optional mailbox-prefix arguments are given, the quota listing (and inconsistency fixing) is limited to quota roots with names that start
with one of the given prefixes.
Running quota with both the -f option and mailbox-prefix arguments is not recommended.
Quota reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file unless specified otherwise by -C.
OPTIONS -C config-file
Read configuration options from config-file.
-d domain
List/fix quotas in domain.
-f Fix any inconsistencies in the quota subsystem before generating a report.
FILES
/etc/imapd.conf

quota -- display disk usage and limits
SYNOPSIS
quota [-g] [-u] [-v | -q]
quota [-u] [-v | -q] user
quota [-g] [-v | -q] group
DESCRIPTION
Quota displays users' disk usage and limits. By default only the user quotas are printed.
Options:
-g Print group quotas for the group of which the user is a member. The optional -u flag is equivalent to the default.
-v quota will display quotas on filesystems where no storage is allocated.
-q Print a more terse message, containing only information on filesystems where usage is over quota.
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. 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.
Quota reports the quotas of all the filesystems that have a mount option file located at its root. If quota exits with a non-zero status,
then one or more filesystems are over quota.
FILES
Each of the following quota files is located at the root of the mounted filesystem. The mount option files are empty files whose existence
indicates that quotas are to be enabled for that filesystem.
.quota.user data file containing user quotas
.quota.group data file containing group quotas
.quota.ops.user mount option file used to enable user quotas
.quota.ops.group mount option file used to enable group quotas
HISTORY
The quota command appeared in 4.2BSD.
