systemd-quotacheck@.service, systemd-quotacheck-root.service, systemd-quotacheck — File system quota checker logic

/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-quotacheck
systemd-quotacheck@.service and
systemd-quotacheck-root.service are services responsible for file system quota
checks. They run once at boot after all necessary file systems are mounted. They are pulled in only if at
least one file system has quotas enabled.
systemd-quotacheck understands one
kernel command line parameter:
quotacheck.mode=¶One of "auto",
"force", "skip". Controls
the mode of operation. The default is "auto",
and ensures that file system quota checks are done when the
file system quota checker deems them necessary.
"force" unconditionally results in full file
system quota checks. "skip" skips any file
system quota checks.
systemd-quotacheck supports the service credentials logic as implemented by
ImportCredential=/LoadCredential=/SetCredential=
(see systemd.exec(5) for
details). The following credentials are used when passed in:
quotacheck.mode¶The contents of the credential is parsed as same as the kernel command line option with the same name. See above for more details.
Note that by default the systemd-quotacheck@.service and
systemd-quotacheck-root.service unit files are set up to inherit
quotacheck.mode credential from the service manager.
