quotacheck(8) System Manager's Manual quotacheck(8) Name quotacheck - file system quota consistency checker Syntax /etc/quotacheck [ -v ] [ -f ] filesystem ... /etc/quotacheck [ -v ] -a Description The command examines each file system, builds a table of current disc usage, and compares this table against that stored in the disc quota file for the file system. If detects any inconsistencies, it updates both the quota file and the current system copies of the incorrect quotas. Inconsistencies occur only if an active file system is checked. Normally, returns a warning if it cannot find a valid quota file. If you use the option, creates a quota file automatically and then per- forms its normal functions. If you use the flag in place of any file system name, checks all the file systems listed in to be read-write with disc quotas. Normally reports only modified quotas. If the option is supplied, will indicate the calculated disc quotas for each user on a particular file system. The command expects each file system to be checked to have a quota file named in the root directory. If none is present, will ignore the file system. The command is normally run at boot time from the file, before enabling disc quotas with For further information, see The command accesses the raw device in calculating the actual disc usage for each user. Thus, the file systems checked should be quiescent while is running.

quotacheck - ufs file system quota consistency checker SYNOPSIS
quotacheck [-fp] [-v] filesystem... quotacheck -a [-fpv] DESCRIPTION
quotacheck examines each mounted ufs file system, builds a table of current disk usage, and compares this table against the information stored in the file system's disk quota file. If any inconsistencies are detected, both the quota file and the current system copy of the incorrect quotas are updated. filesystem is either a file system mount point or the block device on which the file system resides. quotacheck expects each file system to be checked to have a quota file named quotas in the root directory. If none is present, quotacheck will not check the file system. quotacheck accesses the character special device in calculating the actual disk usage for each user. Thus, the file systems that are checked should be quiescent while quotacheck is running. OPTIONS
The following options are supported: -a Check the file systems which /etc/mnttab indicates are ufs file systems. These file systems must be read-write mounted with disk quotas enabled, and have an rq entry in the mntopts field in /etc/vfstab. -f Force check on file systems with logging enabled. Use in combination with the -p option. -p Check quotas of file systems in parallel. For file systems with logging enabled, no check is performed unless the -f option is also specified. -v Indicate the calculated disk quotas for each user on a particular file system. quotacheck normally reports only those quotas modi- fied. USAGE
See largefile(5) for the description of the behavior of quotacheck when encountering files greater than or equal to 2 Gbyte ( 2**31 bytes). FILES
