QUOTA(1) BSD General Commands Manual QUOTA(1)NAME
quota -- display disk usage and limits
SYNOPSIS
quota [-ghu] [-v | -q]
quota [-hu] [-v | -q] user
quota [-gh] [-v | -q] group
quota -d [-gh] [-v | -q]
DESCRIPTION
quota displays users' disk usage and limits. By default only the user quotas are printed.
Options:
-d Query the kernel for default user or group quota instead of a specific user or group.
-g Print group quotas for the group of which the user is a member. The optional -u flag is equivalent to the default.
-h Numbers are displayed in a human readable format.
-q Print a more terse message, containing only information on file systems where usage is over quota.
-v quota will display quotas on file systems where no storage is allocated.
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.
Only the super-user may use the -d flag.
The -q flag takes precedence over the -v flag.
quota tries to report the quotas of all mounted file systems. If the file system is mounted via NFS it will attempt to contact the
rpc.rquotad(8) daemon on the NFS server. If quota exits with a non-zero status, one or more file systems are over quota.

quota - display disk usage and limits
SYNOPSIS
quota [ -F format-name ] [ -guvs | q ]
quota [ -F format-name ] [ -uvs | q ] user
quota [ -F format-name ] [ -gvs | q ] group
DESCRIPTION
quota displays users' disk usage and limits. By default only the user quotas are printed.
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-name
Show quota for specified format (ie. don't perform format autodetection). Possible format names are: vfsold (version 1 quota),
vfsv0 (version 2 quota), rpc (quota over NFS), xfs (quota on XFS filesystem)
-g Print group quotas for the group of which the user is a member. The optional
-u flag is equivalent to the default.
-v will display quotas on filesystems where no storage is allocated.
-s flag will make quota(1) try to choose units for showing limits, used space and used inodes.
-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 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

displaying the disk usage using df
and displaying the disk usage using du -sk
gives me different results:
1st case: df -k |grep users
2nd case: cd /users; du -sk

hi all,
To summerize disk usage in human readable format we have "du -h" in linux,which gives the
disk usage in MBs.
do we have something similar in HP-UX ?
thanks,
