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. More information: https://manned.org/quotacheck.
-
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}}
