DESCRIPTION
warnquota checks the disk quota for specified local filesystems (or for
each local filesystem if none specified) and mails a warning message to
those users who have reached their softlimit. It is typically run via
cron(8).
-F, --format=quotaformat

autodetection). Possible format names are: vfsold Original
quota format with 16-bit UIDs / GIDs, vfsv0 Quota format with
32-bit UIDs / GIDs, 64-bit space usage, 32-bit inode usage and
limits, vfsv1 Quota format with 64-bit quota limits and usage,
xfs Quota on XFS filesystem.
-q, --quota-tab=quotatab
Use quotatab instead of /etc/quotatab as file with device de-
scription strings (see quotatab(5) for syntax).
-c, --config=configfile

file (see warnquota.conf(5) for syntax).

more appropriate units than the default ones. Units can be also

the second character specifies inode units.
