QUOTASYNC(1) General Commands Manual QUOTASYNC(1)
NAME
quotasync - synchronize in-kernel file system usage and limits to
disk format
SYNOPSIS
quotasync [ -ugP ] mount-point...
quotasync [ -ugP ] -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.
-P, --project
Synchronize project 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.
