repquota is used to report on the status of quotas. In the first form, repquota displays a summary report on the quotas for the given filesystems on a per-user or per-group basis. In the second form, the -a option causes a summary for all filesystems with quotas to be displayed. This command fails for nonroot users unless the quota database files are world-readable. The current number of files and the amount of space utilized are printed for each user, along with any quotas created with edquota.
