NAME

quotacheck_hfs: quotacheck — quota consistency checker for HFS file systems

SYNOPSIS

/usr/sbin/quotacheck [-F hfs] [-V] [-pPuv] filesystem ...

/usr/sbin/quotacheck [-F hfs] [-V] [-pPuv] -a

DESCRIPTION

The quotacheck command examines each HFS file system, builds a table of current disk usage, and compares this table against that stored in the disk 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.

quotacheck expects each file system to be checked to have a file named quotas in the root directory. If none is present, quotacheck reports an error and ignores the file system. quotacheck is normally run at mount time from start up scripts.

filesystem represents a mount point or block special device (for example, /dev/dsk/c1t0d2).

Options

quotacheck recognizes the following options:

-a

Obtain list of file systems to check from /etc/fstab. Only mounted file systems of type hfs and rw (or default) with the quota option are checked.

-F hfs

Specify the file system type hfs.

-p

Check file systems in parallel as allowed by equal values in the pass number field in /etc/fstab.

-P

Preen file systems, checking only those with invalid quota statistics (quotaoff and edquota commands can invalidate quota statistics as discussed in quota(5) — see quotaoff(1M) and edquota(1M)). Also checks in parallel as in -p above.

-u

Check user quotas. This is the default action.

-V

Echo the completed command line, but perform no other action. The command line is generated by incorporating the user-specified options and other information derived from /etc/fstab. This option allows the user to verify the command line.

-v

Indicate the calculated disk quotas for each user on a particular file system. quotacheck normally reports only those quotas that are modified.

AUTHOR

quotacheck was developed by HP and the University of California, Berkeley.

FILES

/etc/fstab

Static information about the file systems

/etc/mnttab
