Here is an exemple of the output for user ‘me’ :

Disk quotas for user me (uid 666007):
     Filesystem   space   quota   limit   grace   files   quota   limit   grace
spike:/vol/vol_Home/qtree_home/Home/me
                  2168M   3584M   4096M           18366   4295m   4295m

For this exemple the part that interest you is :

• space : 2168M is the space use by ‘me’ on spike
  
• quota : 3584M quota available to me (3.5G)
  
• limit : 4096M limit that block any writing (4G)

You can now have a look to : Finding big file in your home.
