Research direction

Start by locating the documentation file that covers quota usage and read the surrounding guidance for shell commands. Add the proposed current-user quota function using mmlsquota, preserving the distinction between data:user and scratch; done means both quota locations are explained accurately.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

We can use the mmlsquota command to check user quotas in addition to project quotas. We can add a function to our .bashrc or .bash_profile for it like so:

quota-user() { /usr/lpp/mmfs/bin/mmlsquota --block-size=auto -v -u $1 data:user; }

This will check the current quota used and available specifically in /data/user for the given username. You can also check /scratch by changing data:user to scratch.
