quotasync

QUOTASYNC(1)						      General Commands Manual						      QUOTASYNC(1)

NAME

       quotasync - synchronize in-kernel file system usage and limits to disk format

SYNOPSIS

       quotasync [ -ug ] mount-point...
       quotasync [ -ug ] -a
       quotasync -h | -V

DESCRIPTION

       quotasync flushes file system usage and limits from kernel memory to quota files stored in the file system. By default only the user quotas
       are synchronized.

       This tool can be useful if you want to display accurate quotas by tools that parse quota files, like repquota(8).

OPTIONS

       -u, --user
	      Synchronize user usage and limits.

       -g, --group
	      Synchronize group usage and limits.

       -a, --all
	      Synchronize usage and limits on all file systems. You have to specify this option or to specify desired file systems.

       -V, --version
	      Show program version information and exit.

       -h, --help
	      Show program usage and exit.

DIAGNOSTICS

       If requested synchronization fails, or invalid option is given, quotasync will terminate with non-zero exit code. Otherwise it will  return
       zero.

FILES

       aquota.user  or	aquota.group
		       Quota file at the file system root (version 2 quota, non-XFS/GFS2 file systems).
       quota.user  or  quota.group
		       Quota file at the file system root (version 1 quota, non-XFS/GFS2 file systems).
       /etc/mtab       List of mounted file systems maintained by user space.
       /proc/mounts    List of mounted file systems maintained by kernel.
