https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D278350 Bug ID: 278350 Summary: Handbook states admin does not need to run quotacheck when setting up UFS quotas Product: Documentation Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: Books & Articles Assignee: doc@FreeBSD.org Reporter: jsmith@resonatingmedia.com Problem description: Chapter 20 of the Handbook, in the Quota section, the text states: "In the normal course of operations, there should be no need to manually run quotacheck(8), quotaon(8), or quotaoff(8). However, one should read these manual pages to be familiar with their operation." However, I just performed a fresh set up of quotas on a UFS filesystem runn= ing FreeBSD 13.3. Without running "quotacheck" the quota system doesn't work, declaring all users have a current usage/inode count of zero (0). Suggested fix: I think the Handbook text should be updated to say: "In the normal course of operations, it is a good idea to run 'quotacheck -a' or 'quotacheck /filesystem' after the reboot and prior to setting up user quotas. This will initiate the filesystem usage information for each user/group prior to the administrator running edquota." --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
