Running quotacheck on a running system
If necessary, it is possible to run quotacheck on a machine during a time when no users are
logged in, and thus have no open files on the file system being checked. Run the command
quotacheck -vaug file_system ; this command will fail if quotacheck cannot remount
the given file_system as read-only. Note that, following the check, the file system will be
remounted read-write.
Warning
Running quotacheck on a live file system mounted read-write is not recommended due to
the possibility of quota file corruption.
Refer to man cron for more information about configuring cron.
