NOTES

quota will also display quotas for NFS mounted ufs-based file systems if the rquotad daemon is running. See rquotad(1M).

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

quota -v user1

may 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.
