repquota:tldr:fc839
The command "sudo repquota -v ${filesystem}" is used to display disk usage and limits for user and group quotas on a specified filesystem. Here is an explanation of each part:
-
"sudo": It is a command that allows a user to execute a command with superuser privileges. The "sudo" command must be executed by a user with administrative rights.
-
"repquota": It is a command that generates a report of user and group quotas for a specified filesystem. It retrieves information from the quota database maintained by the quota system.
-
"-v": It is an option used with the "repquota" command to display the report in a verbose or detailed format. This provides additional information such as usage and limits for each user and group.
-
"${filesystem}": This is a placeholder for the name of the filesystem on which you want to retrieve quota information. You need to replace "${filesystem}" with the actual name of the filesystem, such as "/", "/home", or any other filesystem mounted on your system.
By running this command with proper administrative privileges and specifying the correct filesystem name, you can see a detailed report showing disk usage and quota information for users and groups on that filesystem.
