quotacheck question

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



i want to implement disk quota on my /home filesystem (it is going to be a mail server) so i 
read tha appropriate how to's 
edited limits for the users and everything is fine 

but then for quota meintenance i stuck into quotacheck 

the man page says 

quotacheck  should  be  run  each time the system boots and mounts non-
       valid filesystems.  This is most likely to happen after a system crash.

AND 

It  is  also  unwise  to run quotacheck on a live
       filesystem as actual usage may change  during  the  scan.   To  prevent
       this,  quotacheck  tries  to  remount  the  filesystem read-only before
       starting the scan.  After the scan is done it remounts  the  filesystem
       read-write. 


but the 7.2.3 paragraph (Managing disk quotas) of centos 5 deployment guide 

...... However, quotacheck can be run on a regular basis, even if the system has not crashed. Running the following command periodically keeps the quotas more accurate .......


i have looked also on the web 

and some suggest to run quotacheck only at boot time 

and others to run quotacheck regularly but i ahve not found a clear answer 

i wonder what are the comments of centos community on hte subject
