repquota: Report on quotas for users only.
$ repquota --user ${filesystem}
try on your machine

The command "repquota --user ${filesystem}" is used to display the disk usage and quota information for individual users on a specific filesystem.

Here's an explanation of each component:

  • "repquota": It is a command-line utility used to report disk space and inode usage, as well as quota limits and usage for users and groups.
  • "--user": This option is used to specify that the information should be displayed on a per-user basis rather than per-group.
  • "${filesystem}": This is a placeholder for the name of the filesystem for which you want to view the user quotas. You need to replace "${filesystem}" with the actual name of your target filesystem.

By executing this command, you will get a report showing the disk usage, quota limits, and usage for each user on the specified filesystem. It helps in monitoring and managing disk space utilization and enforcing quota limits for individual users.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
