VQUOTA(8)

NAME
vquota - VFS quota system utility

SYNOPSIS
vquota [ -D | -h] command argument

DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents the vquota utility which provides functions for managing virtual file system accounting and quotas.

To use the vquota utility, the vfs.quota_enabled tunable needs to be set in loader.conf(5).

The following options are available:

-D  Debug flag, show raw messages sent to and received from kernel

-h  "Human-readable" output. Use unit suffixes: Byte, Kilobyte, Megabyte, Gigabyte, Terabyte and Petabyte in order to reduce the number of digits to four or fewer.

-n  Show raw user and group ids. Normally vquota attempts to resolve and display full user and group names.

The commands are as follows:

check directory
    Reports the space (in bytes) occupied by files names located in the directory hierarchy present under directory.

lsfs
    List mounted file systems having space accounting enabled

show mount_point
    Show file size usage and quota limits for the file system mounted under mount_point. The information is broken down by uid and gid and is expressed by default in bytes.

sync mount_point
    Initialize in one go the usage counters for the filesystem mounted under mount_point with real usage data. This command scans an entire filesystem directory hierarchy and may be slow to run

limit mount_point size
    Set a global quota of size bytes for the filesystem mounted under mount_point.

ulim mount_point user size
    Set a quota of size bytes for the filesystem mounted under mount_point and the specified user.

glim mount_point group size
    Set a quota of size bytes for the filesystem mounted under mount_point and the specified group.

A limit of 0 effectively means checks are disabled.

EXAMPLES
The following is an example of a typical usage of the vquota command:

    vquota show /mnt/data

HISTORY
