Disk quotas #

Individual disk usage quotas are enforced on /home/users/ and /home/data. You can use the quota command to query your current usage and quota statistics:

quota --human-readable --show-mntpoint --hide-device

The output will look like this:

Disk quotas for user danilov (uid 1002): 
     Filesystem   space   quota   limit   grace   files   quota   limit   grace
    /home/users 101275M    100G    110G            382k   1000k   1100k        
     /home/data  22634M   1024G   1024G           33435  10000k  10000k        

There are two types of limits:

• the total size of used disk space (space);
• the total number of files (files).

The command quota will show you the current usage for space/files, as well as the value of quota and the maximum limit. Zeros in both quota and limit fields are used as unlimited values. The operating system will not allow the user to exceed the limit value, returning the error Disk quota exceeded. However, the user may exceed the quota value for a limited time (7 days). In this case the remaining time will be displayed in the field grace.

     Filesystem   space   quota   limit   grace   files   quota   limit   grace
    /home/users    101G*   100G    110G   6days    382k   1000k   1100k

Add the following lines to your ~/.bashrc file in order to check quota limits at login time:

# check only local quotas and print in human-readable format if exceeded
command -v quota >/dev/null 2>&1 && { quota -lq --show-mntpoint --hide-device 2>/dev/null || quota -ls --show-mntpoint --hide-device; }
