The other thing I am not entirely clear on with quotas, is can I do a
quotacheck on a live machine ? The man pages say
Quotacheck accesses the raw device in calculating
the actual disk usage for each user. Thus,
the filesystems checked should be quiescent while
quotacheck is running.
Should be, or *must* be ?
i.e. can I safely do
quotaoff -a
quotacheck -a
quotaon -a
or can I just do a quotacheck to fix the inconsistancies ?
