After you have set up and turned on disk quotas and inode quotas, you can check for users who exceed their quotas. In addition, you can check quota information for entire file systems.
The following table describes the commands that you use to check quotas.
Table 14.2. Commands for Checking Quotas
|
Command |
Task |
|---|---|
|
Displays user quotas and current disk use, and information about users who are exceeding their quotas | |
|
repquota ( 1M ) |
Displays quotas, files, and the amount of space that is owned for specified file systems |
How to Check for Exceeded Quotas
You can display the quotas and disk use for individual users on file systems on which quotas have been activated by using the quota command.
Become superuser or assume an equivalent role.
Roles contain authorizations and privileged commands. For more information about roles, see Configuring RBAC (Task Map) in System Administration Guide: Security Services .
Display user quotas for mounted file systems where quotas are enabled.
#quota[-v]username
v
Displays one or more users' quotas on all mounted file systems that have quotas.
username
Is the login name or UID of a user's account.
Example 14.6. Checking for Exceeded Quotas
The following example shows that the user account identified by UID 301 has one 1–Kbyte quota but has not used any disk space.
# quota -v 301
Disk quotas for bob (uid 301):
Filesystem usage quota limit timeleft files quota limit timeleft
/export/home 0 1 2 0 2 3
Filesystem
Is the mount point for the file system.
usage
Is the current block usage.
quota
Is the soft-block limit.
limit
Is the hard-block limit.
timeleft
Is the amount of time, in days, left on the quota timer.
files
Is the current inode usage.
quota
Is the soft-inode limit.
limit
Is the hard-inode limit.
timeleft
Is the amount of time, in days, left on the quota timer.
How to Check Quotas on a File System
Display the quotas and disk use for all users on one or more file systems by using the repquota command.
Become superuser or assume an equivalent role.
Roles contain authorizations and privileged commands. For more information about roles, see Configuring RBAC (Task Map) in System Administration Guide: Security Services .
Display all quotas for one or more file systems, even if there is no usage.
#repquota[-v]-afilesystem
v
Reports on quotas for all users, even those users who do not consume resources.
a
Reports on all file systems.
filesystem
Reports on the specified file system.
Example 14.7. Checking Quotas on a File System
The following example shows output from the repquota command
on a system that has quotas enabled on only one file system (/export/home).
# repquota -va
/dev/dsk/c0t3d0s7 (/export/home):
Block limits File limits
User used soft hard timeleft used soft hard timeleft
#301 -- 0 1 2.0 days 0 2 3
#341 -- 57 50 60 7.0 days 2 90 100
