Yes, quotacheck is supposed to be run if the underlying ldiskfs filesystem
has not been unmounted cleanly (due to a crash for instance). The accounting
must be fixed to keep quotas accurate.
That being said, we now use journaled quota, so quotacheck is no longer needed
after an unclean shutdown with lustre 1.6.5/1.4.12 and above (see bug 14443).
