Hi,

I'm a beginner to UNIX. My admin gave me
user id , password to login to UNIX box.
As soon as i login i get /home/dmserv
This is my home directory.

My Question is ..

What is the total space allocated to me (only to this user id).

if i put
/home/dmserv $ df -k
it displays...

/u62 (/dev/vg24/lvol2
/u63 (/dev/vg24/lvol3
/u64 (/dev/vg24/lvol4
/u65 (/dev/vg24/lvol5
/u66 (/dev/vg24/lvol6
/usr (/dev/vg00/lvol7 etc.......

Total XXXXX
Free XXXXXX
Used XXXXXXXX

I dont know how to interpret this output.
I'm interested only in total space allocated to me , used and free space.I dont want to see other users space or details.

Thanks in Advance
Raj

Do a:

$ bdf .

(that is bdf .)

That will tell you the number of K-Bytes free in the /home filesystem. You have the ability to use all of the available space in /home unless your system admin has enabled quotas.

To see if you have a quota, type:

$ quota

If it does not return anything, then you do NOT have a quota and can use all possible space in /home.

use df -k . <--- dot will show size for current file system. That will be size of home directory.

Try:

quota -v

If nothing, then you have no quota....but that desn't mean you have all the space in the world - just means you are sharing the space on /home...

Dear Raj
Once after u login through your user id
$quota -v :This will display the quota
assigned to your userid
if it gives "no disk quota for uid X" means no quota is set for u

Hello Raj,

I hope you are new to ITRC forums. IF you want to post a thread then try to use appropriate thread title there.


Users can use disk, based on permission there. We can not define without allocating any user quota to that file system there. If you did not define user quota then we can not get it using quota -v / df -k . there.

We can get the user usage informations on that disk there with du. If that specific user having access to another filesystem without any quota limitation then, we have to add all file system there.

HTH.

is what you need,
