A system administrator receives complaints from users that they cannot write to their home directories on a Linux server despite appearing to have available disk space. The administrator suspects a quota limitation. Which command should the administrator use to verify the user quotas and determine which users have reached their disk space limit?
The repquota command is used to generate a report of disk usage and limits for user quotas, making it the appropriate choice to check which users have reached their disk space limit. quotacheck scans one or more filesystems for disk usage, it initializes, checks, and repairs quotas. However, it does not provide a readable report for administrators. edquota is used to edit user quotas, not to display them. quotaon and quotaoff are used to enable and disable quota enforcement, respectively, and do not display the quota usage. du displays disk usage statistics but does not show the quota limits or which users have reached their limits.
