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
