SYSMANHELP.HLB  —  DISKQUOTA  REBUILD
    Updates a quota file, adding new UICs and correcting usage counts
    for each user on the volume.

    Requires write (W)  access to the quota file, plus one of the
    following items: SYSPRV privilege, a system UIC, or ownership of
    the volume.

    Format

      DISKQUOTA REBUILD

1  –  Qualifier

1.1    /DEVICE

       /DEVICE=device-spec

    Specifies the disk volume that contains the quota file. SYSMAN
    validates the device specification and translates any logical
    name in the target environment before rebuilding the file.

    Without a device specification, SYSMAN uses the default disk
    on the target node. Unless you have set a default device with
    the SET PROFILE command, the default disk is the current device
    on the local node or the login default device on another node,
    depending on the established environment.

2  –  Description

    The DISKQUOTA REBUILD command reads the disk, recalculates
    usage counts for all existing entries in QUOTA.SYS, and adds
    new entries. It sets quota and overdraft values to the defaults
    set in UIC [0,0] if the entry did not previously exist. While
    the DISKQUOTA REBUILD command is executing, file activity on the
    volume is frozen. No files can be created, deleted, extended, or
    truncated.

    Use the DISKQUOTA REBUILD command in the following circumstances:

    o  After creating a quota file on a volume with existing files.

    o  When the quota file has been enabled after a period of being
       disabled. The command corrects the usage counts and adds any
       new UICs.

3  –  Example

  SYSMAN> SET ENVIRONMENT /NODE=NODE21
  SYSMAN> SET PROFILE /PRIVILEGE=SYSPRV
  SYSMAN> DISKQUOTA ENABLE /DEVICE=DUA226:
  SYSMAN> DISKQUOTA REBUILD /DEVICE=DUA226:

      These commands enable the quota file and reconstruct the usage
      counts for all entries on disk DUA226, which is located on node
      NODE21.
