get xfs_quota info as regular user

get xfs_quota info as regular user

[Rene Salmon]

Hi,


Did some searches on the list archives but could not find any useful info on
this.

Is there a way for a regular user to get info about his or her quota usage?

I tried both of these as a regular user and get nothing:

120> xfs_quota -c "quota userid"
121> xfs_quota -x -c "quota userid"

But if I log in as root I can manage to get the info I need:

# xfs_quota -c "quota userid"
Disk quotas for User userid (17080)
Filesystem              Blocks      Quota      Limit  Warn/Time      Mounted
on
/dev/vg_u00/lv_u00     1691516   10240000   10291200   00 [--------] /u00
/dev/vg_u01/lv_u01     4272876   10240000   10291200   00 [--------] /u01
Disk quotas for User userid (17080)
Filesystem              Blocks      Quota      Limit  Warn/Time      Mounted

/dev/vg_u01/lv_u01     4272876   10240000   10291200   00 [--------] /u01


Is there any way to allow users to check their quotas with out being root?

Thanks
Rene

By default the quota command does not display anything unless the user is overquota.
To display the limits set for a user you need to specify the -v option.

xfs_quota -c 'quota -v'

Note there is currently a bug in xfs-cmds that causes xfs_quota to display results multiple times
(once for each xfs filesystem). One work around for this is to specify the specific filesystem on
the commandline.

xfs_quota -c 'quota -v' /home
