quotacheck(8)
NAME
  quotacheck - Checks file system quota consistency

SYNOPSIS
  /usr/sbin/quotacheck [-guv] filesystem ...

  /usr/sbin/quotacheck -a [-guv] [-l number]

PARAMETERS
  filesystem
	    Specifies one or more file systems.	 Specify any file system by
	    entering its full path name.  The full path name is the file
	    system's mount point in the /etc/fstab file.  You can also
	    specify a UFS file system by entering the name of its device
	    special file.  For example:	 /dev/rz3c.
	    You can also specify an AdvFS fileset by entering the name of the
	    file domain, a pound sign (#), and the name of the fileset.	 For
	    example: root_domain#root.

FLAGS
  -a	    Checks all file systems identified in the /etc/fstab file as
	    read/write with disk quotas.

  -g	    Checks group quotas only.

  -l number Specifies the number of times to perform disk quota checking.

  -u	    Checks user quotas only.

  -v	    Reports discrepancies between the calculated and recorded disk
	    quotas.

DESCRIPTION
  The quotacheck command examines each specified 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. Each file system must be mounted with quotas enabled.

  The quotacheck command runs parallel passes on file systems using the
  number specified in the fsck field of the file system's entry in the
  /etc/fstab file.  The quotacheck command only checks file systems with pass
  number 1 or higher in the fsck field.	 A file system with no pass number is
  not checked.

  For both UFS file systems and AdvFS filesets, you should assign the root
  file system a fsck field value of 1, and a value of 2 or higher to other
  file systems.	 See fstab(4) for more information.

  The quotacheck command checks only file systems that have the userquota or
  groupquota option specified in the /etc/fstab file.

  The quotacheck command must be run by a user with superuser authority.

  By default, both user and group quotas listed in the /etc/fstab file are
  checked.  Use the -g flag to specify that only group quotas be checked; use
  the -u flag to specify that only user quotas be checked.

  The quotacheck command does not display activity information while checking
  file systems. Use the -v flag to report inconsistencies found or procedures
  performed by the quotacheck command.

  The file systems to be checked should be quiescent while the quotacheck
  command is running.

NOTES
  The term file system represents either a UFS file system or an AdvFS
  fileset.

RESTRICTION
  You must be the root user to use the quotacheck command.
