Thanks, - I kicked it off and it finished in about 12 hours, so much quicker 
than I expected.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: [gpfsug-discuss] Running mmcheckquota on a file system 
with 1.3B files

Bob, like most questions of this time I think the answer depends on a number of 
variables.  Generally we do not recommend running the mmcheckquota command 
during the peak usage of your Spectrum Scale system.  As I think you know the 
command will increase the IO to the NSDs that hold metadata and the number of 
NSDs that hold metadata will contribute to the time it takes for the command to 
complete, i.e. more metadata NSDs should improve the overall execution time.
