3.5.2. Displaying Quota Limits and Usage
Quota limits and current usage can be displayed for a specific user or group using the gfs2_quota get command. The entire contents of the quota file can also be displayed using the gfs2_quota list command, in which case all IDs with a non-zero hard limit, warn limit, or value are listed.
Displaying Quota Limits for a User
gfs2_quota get -u User -f MountPoint
Displaying Quota Limits for a Group
gfs2_quota get -g Group -f MountPoint
Displaying Entire Quota File
gfs2_quota list -f MountPoint
User-
A user ID to display information about a specific user. It can be either a user name from the password file or the UID number.
Group-
A group ID to display information about a specific group. It can be either a group name from the group file or the GID number.
MountPoint-
Specifies the GFS2 file system to which the actions apply.
GFS2 quota information from the gfs2_quota command is displayed as follows:
user User: limit:LimitSize warn:WarnSize value:Value
group Group: limit:LimitSize warn:WarnSize value:Value
The LimitSize, WarnSize, and Value numbers (values) are in units of megabytes by default. Adding the -k, -s, or -b flags to the command line change the units to kilobytes, sectors, or file system blocks, respectively.
User-
A user name or ID to which the data is associated.
Group-
A group name or ID to which the data is associated.
LimitSize-
The hard limit set for the user or group. This value is zero if no limit has been set.
Value-
The actual amount of disk space used by the user or group.
When displaying quota information, the gfs2_quota command does not resolve UIDs and GIDs into names if the -n option is added to the command line.
Space allocated to GFS2's hidden files can be left out of displayed values for the root UID and GID by adding the -d option to the command line. This is useful when trying to match the numbers from gfs2_quota with the results of a du command.
This example displays quota information for all users and groups that have a limit set or are using any disk space on file system /mygfs2.
gfs2_quota list -f /mygfs2
This example displays quota information in sectors for group users on file system /mygfs2.
gfs2_quota get -g users -f /mygfs2 -s
