Disc Burning Quick Assist

You easily burn toast, but you can't figure out how to burn a disc. Whether you want to have a tangible copy of your GarageBand masterpiece, back up your files, or share your epic movie-making mastery with couch potatoes around the world (or at least your non-critical friends and family), creating a CD or DVD of your work is a common rite of passage in every Mac user's life.But if burning a disc conjures up images of flaming rounds of plastic, this handy guide will show you how to create your own CDs and DVDs and help you troubleshoot any issues that may occur. All you need is a disc drive that can record the type of discs you want to burn.Apple Combo Drives can burn information on CD-R or CD-RW (rewritable) discs. Apple SuperDrives can burn data to CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, and DVD-RW discs—some of the latest SuperDrives may also burn to DVD+R, DVD+RW, and DVD+R DL discs (see your product manual for specifics). Be sure that you only purchase recordable discs that work with your disc drive. For information about your particular disc drive, consult your Apple or third-party product manual.

Name
       quotacheck - file system quota consistency checker

Syntax
       /etc/quotacheck [ -v ] [ -f ] filesystem ...
       /etc/quotacheck [ -v ] -a

Description
       The  command examines each file system, builds a table of current disc usage, and compares this table against that stored in the disc quota
       file for the file system.  If detects any inconsistencies, it updates both the quota file and the current system copies	of  the  incorrect
       quotas.	Inconsistencies occur only if an active file system is checked.

       Normally,  returns a warning if it cannot find a valid quota file.  If you use the option, creates a quota file automatically and then per-
       forms its normal functions.

       If you use the flag in place of any file system name, checks all the file systems listed in to be read-write with disc quotas.

       Normally reports only modified quotas. If the option is supplied, will indicate the calculated disc quotas for each user  on  a	particular
       file system.

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

       The command is normally run at boot time from the file, before enabling disc quotas with For further information, see

       The command accesses the raw device in calculating the actual disc usage for each user.	Thus, the file systems checked should be quiescent
       while is running.
