try on your machine

This command is used to run a disk quota check for a specific group on a specific mountpoint.

  • sudo is a command that allows a user with administrative privileges to execute the subsequent command as the superuser or another user.
  • quotacheck is a command used to check and repair disk quota inconsistencies or errors on a filesystem.
  • --group is an option of the quotacheck command that specifies that the subsequent parameter is a group for which the quota check should be performed.
  • ${group} is a placeholder for the name of the group on which the quota check should be performed. It should be replaced with the actual group name.
  • ${mountpoint} is a placeholder for the mountpoint of the filesystem where the quota check should be performed. It should be replaced with the actual mountpoint.
