quotacheck
examines each filesystem,
builds a table of current disk usage, and compares this table against that
recorded in the disk quota file for the filesystem. If any inconsistencies
are detected, both the quota file and the current system copy of the
incorrect quotas are updated (the latter only occurs if an active filesystem
is checked). By default, both user and group quotas are checked.
Available options:
-a
-a
flag is supplied in place of any
filesystem names, quotacheck
will check all the
filesystems indicated in /etc/fstab to be
read-write with disk quotas. By default, only the types of quotas listed
in /etc/fstab are checked.-d
-g
-l
maxparallel-u
-v
quotacheck
reports discrepancies between the
calculated and recorded disk quotas.Specifying both -g
and
-u
is equivalent to the default. Parallel passes are
run on the filesystems required, using the pass numbers in
/etc/fstab in an identical fashion to
fsck(8).
Normally quotacheck
operates silently.
quotacheck
expects each filesystem to be
checked to have quota files named quota.user and
quota.group located at the root of the associated
file system. These defaults may be overridden in
/etc/fstab. If a file is not present,
quotacheck
will create it.
quotacheck
is normally run at boot time
from the /etc/rc file (see
rc(8)) before enabling disk
quotas with quotaon(8).
quotacheck
accesses the raw device in
calculating the actual disk usage for each user. Thus, the filesystems
checked should be quiescent while quotacheck
is
running.
