QUOTACHECK(1M)      RISC/os Reference Manual       QUOTACHECK(1M)



NAME
     quotacheck - file system quota consistency checker

SYNOPSIS
     /etc/quotacheck [ -v ] [ -p ] filesystem...
     /etc/quotacheck [ -v ] [ -p ] -a

DESCRIPTION
     quotacheck 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 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 file system is checked).

     If the -a flag is supplied in place of any file system
     names, quotacheck will check all the file systems indicated
     in /etc/fstab to be read-write with disc quotas.

     Normally quotacheck reports only those quotas modified.  If
     the -v option is supplied, quotacheck will indicate the cal-
     culated disc quotas for each user on a particular file sys-
     tem.

     If the -p flag is supplied then parallel passes will be run
     on the filesystems required, using the pass numbers in
     /etc/fstab in an identical fashion to fsck(1M).

     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 ignore the file system.

     quotacheck is normally run at boot time, before enabling
     disc quotas with quotaon(1M).

     quotacheck accesses the raw device in calculating the actual
     disc usage for each user.  Thus, the file systems checked
     should be quiescent while quotacheck is running.
