Disk quotas for user techie (uid 3697): 
     Filesystem   space   quota   limit   grace   files   quota   limit   grace
  f85:/vol/vol1    829M   2048M   2048M            7902   32768   32768

The space and files fields are what you are currently using while the quota/limit are you limits.

techie@wolverine:~$ du -sh ./*
