Quotas

3GByte

How to check the quotas

As shown below, you can check amount of used disk space using quota command. The following output example shows that 180 MBytes is already used.

% quota -Qs
Disk quotas for user ua000000 (uid 000000):
     Filesystem  blocks   quota   limit   grace   files   quota   limit   grace
hds00:/home/md000
                   180M       0   3072M            4167       0       0

The column "blocks" , which is 180MByte in the above example, indicates how much space you use. The column "limit" indicates the storage limit, which is 3072MByte.
