1 | .TH QUOTACHECK 8 "18 July 1983" |
| 2 | .UC 4 | |
| 3 | .SH NAME | |
| 4 | quotacheck \- file system quota consistency checker | |
| 5 | .SH SYNOPSIS | |

| 17 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
| 18 | .I Quotacheck | |
| 19 | examines each file system, | |
| 20 | builds a table of current disc usage, | |
| 21 | and compares this table against that stored | |
| 22 | in the disc quota file for the file system. | |
| 23 | If any inconsistencies are detected, both the | |
| 24 | quota file and the current system copy of the | |
| 25 | incorrect quotas are updated (the latter only | |
| 26 | occurs if an active file system is checked). | |
| 27 | .PP | |
| 28 | If the | |
| 29 | .B \-a | |
| 30 | flag is supplied in place of any file system | |
| 31 | names, | |
| 32 | .I quotacheck | |
| 33 | will check all the file systems indicated in | |
| 34 | .I /etc/fstab | |
| 35 | to be read-write with disc quotas. | |
| 36 | .PP | |
| 37 | Normally | |
| 38 | .I quotacheck | |
| 39 | reports only those quotas modified. If the | |
| 40 | .B \-v | |
| 41 | option is supplied, | |
| 42 | .I quotacheck | |
| 43 | will indicate the calculated disc quotas for each | |
| 44 | user on a particular file system. | |
| 45 | .PP | |
| 46 | .I Quotacheck | |
| 47 | expects each file system to be checked to have a | |
| 48 | quota file named | |
| 49 | .I quotas | |
| 50 | in the root directory. If none is present, | |
| 51 | .I quotacheck | |
| 52 | will ignore the file system. | |
| 53 | .PP | |
| 54 | .I Quotacheck | |
| 55 | is normally run at boot time from the | |
| 56 | .I /etc/rc.local | |
| 57 | file, see | |
| 58 | .IR rc (8), | |
| 59 | before enabling disc quotas with | |
| 60 | .IR quotaon (8). | |
| 61 | .PP | |
| 62 | .I Quotacheck | |
| 63 | accesses the raw device in calculating the actual | |
| 64 | disc usage for each user. Thus, the file systems | |
| 65 | checked should be quiescent while | |
| 66 | .I quotacheck | |
| 67 | is running. | |
