Bug 26380

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.16-22 i686)


According to the quotacheck(8) man page, "quotacheck -a" should check both
user and group quotas for the filesystems mentioned in /etc/fstab. 
Actually, it only checks USER quotas.  It turns out that to set up group
quotas with the -a option, you also need to specify the -g option (contrary
to the documentation).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Assume we have a /home partition:
1.  Set usrquota,grpquota mount options for /home in /etc/fstab. 
2.  `mount -o remount /home` 
3.  quotacheck -a
	

Actual Results:  A /home/quota.user file is created, but no
/home/quota.group file is created.  If both files exist, only
/home/quota.user is updated.

Expected Results:  According to the man page, both /home/quota.user and
/home/quota.group should be created or updated accordingly.  

By default just using `quotacheck` implies `quotacheck -u`, and this is
correctly documented.  However, it's clear from the man page that
`quotacheck -a` is supposed to imply the same behavior currently exhibited
by `quotacheck -a -g -u`.

Quotes from quotacheck(8):

This bug can probably be resolved either by changing the man page or by
changing quotacheck.  :)
