quotacheck(1M)
quotacheck (generic) --
filesystem quota consistency checker
Synopsis
/usr/bin/quotacheck [-F FSType]
[-V]
[current_options]
[-o specific_options] filesystem . . .
Description
quotacheck
examines each filesystem, builds a table of current
disk usage, and compares this table against that stored
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).
quotacheck
expects each filesystem to be checked to have a quota
file named
quotas
in the root directory.
If none is present,
quotacheck
will ignore the filesystem.
quotacheck
accesses the character special device in calculating the actual disk
usage for each user.
Thus, the filesystems checked should be quiescent while
quotacheck
is running.
Command options
- -F
-
Specify the FSType on which to operate.
The FSType should either be specified here or be determinable
from /etc/vfstab by matching the inputfs (device)
with an entry in the table.
- -v
-
Echo the complete command line, but do not execute
the command.
The command line is generated by using the options and
arguments provided by the user and adding to them information
derived from /etc/vfstab.
This option should be used to verify and validate the
command line.
- -o
-
Specify FSType-specific options.
Files
- /etc/mnttab
-
mounted filesystems
- /etc/vfstab
-
list of default parameters for each filesystem
