Displaying Disk Quotas

Use the quota command to view information about disk quotas across the system.

Running the quota command as a system administrator lets you see the quota information for all users and groups on the system.

Individual users can also use the quota command to display disk usage for themselves and their own group.

For more information, see the quota(1) manual page.

  • To display a user's disk usage, use the quota command without any options and specifying the username as an argument.
    sudo quota username
  • To display a group's disk usage, use the quota -g command.
    sudo quota -g group
  • To display information about file systems, where usage is over the quota limits, use the quota -q command
    sudo quota -q
