NAME
     quotacheck - file system quota consistency checker

SYNOPSIS
     quotacheck [-v] [-p] filesystem...
     quotacheck [-apv]

DESCRIPTION
     quotacheck examines each 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 (the
     latter only occurs if an active file system is checked).

     quotacheck expects each file system to be checked to have  a
     quota  file  named quotas in the root directory.  If none is
     present, quotacheck will ignore the file system.

     quotacheck accesses the character special device  in  calcu-
     lating  the actual disk usage for each user.  Thus, the file
     systems checked should be quiescent while quotacheck is run-
     ning.  The options are:

     -v   Indicate the calculated disk quotas for each user on  a
          particular  file  system.   quotacheck normally reports
          only those quotas modified.

     -a   Check the file systems indicated in /etc/mnttab  to  be
          read-write  with  disk quotas.  Only those file systems
          that have "rq" in the mntopts field of the  /etc/vfstab
          file are checked.

     -p   Run parallel passes on the required file systems.
