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}}
