QUOT(8) Maintenance Commands and Procedures QUOT(8)

NAME

quot - summarize file system ownership

SYNOPSIS

quot [-acfhnv] filesystem...


quot -a [-cfhnv]

DESCRIPTION

quot displays the number of blocks (1024 bytes) in the named
filesystem (one or more) currently owned by each user. There is a
limit of 2048 blocks. Files larger than this will be counted as a
2048 block file, but the total block count will be correct.

OPTIONS

The following options are supported:

-a
Generate a report for all mounted file systems.


-c
Display three columns giving a file size in blocks, the number
of files of that size, and a cumulative total of blocks
containing files of that size or a smaller size.


-f
Display three columns giving, for each user, the number of
blocks owned, the count of number of files, and the user name.
This option is incompatible with the -c and -v options.


-h
Estimate the number of blocks in the file. This does not
account for files with holes in them.


-n
Attach names to the list of files read from standard input.
quot -n cannot be used alone, because it expects data from
standard input. For example, the pipeline

ncheck myfilesystem | sort +0n | quot -n myfilesystem

will produce a list of all files and their owners. This option
is incompatible with all other options.


-v
In addition to the default output, display three columns
containing the number of blocks not accessed in the last 30,
60, and 90 days.

OPERANDS

mount-point of the filesystem(s) being checked
