If any inconsistencies are detected, both the quota file and the current system copy of the incorrect quotas are updated (the latter only occurs if an active file system is checked). By default both user and group quotas are checked. .Pp The following options are available: .Bl -tag -width indent .It Fl a If supplied in place of any file system names, .Nm will check all the file systems indicated in .Pa /etc/fstab to be read-write with disk quotas. By default only the types of quotas listed in .Pa /etc/fstab are checked. .It Fl g Only group quotas listed in .Pa /etc/fstab are to be checked. .It Fl u Only user quotas listed in .Pa /etc/fstab are to be checked. .It Fl v Report discrepancies between the calculated and recorded disk quotas and other additional diagnostic messages. .El .Pp Specifying both .Fl g and .Fl u is equivalent to the default. Parallel passes are run on the file systems required, using the pass numbers in .Pa /etc/fstab in an identical fashion to .Xr fsck 8 . .Pp Normally, .Nm operates silently. .Pp The .Nm utility expects each file system to be checked to have a quota files named .Pa quota.user and .Pa quota.group which are located at the root of the associated file system. These defaults may be overridden in .Pa /etc/fstab . If a file is not present, .Nm will create it. These files should be edited with the .Xr edquota 8 utility. .Pp The .Nm utility is normally run at boot time from the .Pa /etc/rc file. The rc startup procedure is controlled by the .Pa /etc/rc.conf variable .Ar check_quotas . Note that to enable this functionality in .Pa /etc/rc you also need to enable startup quota procedures with the variable .Ar enable_quotas in .Pa /etc/rc.conf . .Pp The .Nm utility accesses the raw device in calculating the actual disk usage for each user. Thus, the file systems checked should be quiescent while .Nm is running. .Sh FILES .Bl -tag -width quota.group -compact .It Pa quota.user at the file system root with user quotas .It Pa quota.group at the file system root with group quotas .It Pa /etc/fstab default file systems .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr quota 1 , .Xr quotactl 2 , .Xr fstab 5 , .Xr edquota 8 , .Xr fsck 8 , .Xr quotaon 8 , .Xr repquota 8 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm utility appeared in .Bx 4.2 .
