How to recalculate quotas

---

In our Bluequartz servers sometimes we had a few problems with the user's quotas. Yes it happened that, sometimes, some users had reported in the disk usage feature of the control panel a quota that was not real. We don't really know why and how this can happen, but what we did are the following commands, run as root:

First turn off quota

Then backup and reset the quota database

Then run quotacheck to get the quota back in sync

Finally turn back on quota

And restore the values in the CODB database

Hope this helps!
