VQUOTA(8)              DragonFly System Manager's Manual             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

SEE ALSO
     vquotactl(2), loader.conf(5)

HISTORY
     The vquota utility first appeared in DragonFly 2.13.
