quotacheck

Scan a filesystem for disk usage; create, check and repair quota files.

It is best to run quota check with quotas turned off to prevent damage or loss to quota files.

• Check quotas on all mounted non-NFS filesystems:

sudo quotacheck --all

• Force check even if quotas are enabled (this can cause damage or loss to quota files):

sudo quotacheck --force {mountpoint}

• Check quotas on a given filesystem in debug mode:

sudo quotacheck --debug {mountpoint}

• Check quotas on a given filesystem, displaying the progress:

sudo quotacheck --verbose {mountpoint}

• Check user quotas:

sudo quotacheck --user {user} {mountpoint}

• Check group quotas:

sudo quotacheck --group {group} {mountpoint}
